El Calafate

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 7 October 2007 | Views [435]

After around 30 hours of buses we arrived in El Calafate where we were able to see the Perito Moreno Glacier in the Parque Nacionql Los Glacier.  Outside of Antartica, this is the only glacier that is not receeding and it is awesome!!! We were mesmorised by it, watching it for a couple of hours waiting for the next piece to fall off.  We were luckly enough to see about 4 massive chunks fall off making the biggest glass smashing type noice I have ever heard!

From El Calafate we ducked up to El Chalten for a couple of days walking in the Fitz Roy Ranges. Here we walked between snowed capped mountains including Cerro Fitz Roy and multiple frozen lakes.
