Perito Moreno Glacer in El Calafate

The big glacier (Perito Moreno) at El Calafate – this is actually only one half – there is more on the other side of the point

We waited and waited and waited and waited for a chunk of the glacier to fall off – eventually it did – you can see the wake moving out in a circle

Observe and Conserve!

dirt and ice and dirty ice – the glacier is moving forward at a rate of 2meters per day and constantly breaking off and falling into the water.

the extent of the glacier

– We spent about 70 hours on busses during this trip – but it wasn’t so bad.
