WOW!!

I've seen glaciers before in NZ but this one is amazing!

It's size is so impressive that it is hard to take it all in.

The photos don't do it justice as the size cannot be represented in a small photo but just look for the boat in a couple of the photos and you'll get an impression of size.

Also the noise is terrific the glacier growns and cracks with thunder like noises and when bit of ice fall off the noise is magnified by the shear wall of ice behind it.

The glacier is 3kms wide at the face and over 27kms long up into the mountains behide where several smaller glaciers join to form the big one.

I'm having a few days R&R here before travelling the 17hrs south to Ushuia.
