Trekking the Glacier

ARGENTINA | Friday, 13 March 2009 | Views [399]

I would say the highlight of the trip has been trekking on El Perito Moreno Glacier.  It was amazing.  Poppy was not enjoying the rain that we started out with.  Fortunately the day cleared and even though we had clouds the sun would pop out for various periods of time throughout the day.  I was thanking the gortex gods that day!  Really it was getting soaked in New Orleans last year that converted me to gortex and be prepared for rain.

The glacier is unreal.  Hiking on it and seeing all of the colors was amazing.  Then after the hike we ate lunch at a refuge and watched pieces break off and crash into the water.  Obviously it wasn´t the pieces we were hiking on...so don´t worry mom!  Then we took the ferry back to the bus, and during the ferry trip a huge chunk of ice came out of the water like a shark´s fin and then bobbed back below.  It was so awesome to watch!
