Viedma glacier
February 23, 2016 in Argentina ⋅ 🌧 7 °C
In a trip already full of wows, today was a highlight. Ice trekking on a glacier, with crampons and big grins. We were lucky with a lovely sunny day. As we were on the ice, a vast amount fell from front of the glacier, with great creaks, crashes and spray, and when we went to the front the landscape had totally changed, what was previously a lagoon, was now a lake of ice & icebergs. It was awesome, in the true meaning of that word!Read more

TravelerHi to Thea. I don't think anything really lives on the glacier - it's too cold, windy and dangerous because huge cracks appear all the time. It's moving forward 1.5 metres every day.
