So you are probably going to get bored of these pictures after a while but here is the view from our B&B. That is Lago Argetino in the distance.

Perito Moreno Glacier
8. februar 2016, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
This glacier is the reason I wanted to come to Patagonia - I got quite emotional when I first saw it today. Beautiful and awe inspiring. We were very lucky to see a slab of ice, the size of a house, calve off and fall into the lake as we we on the boat 😃Læs mere

Icebergs
9. februar 2016, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Boat trip to the Upsala glacier today, first stop a sail through icebergs that have calved off the end of the glacier. Some were 10 x the size of our boat - and that is just the bit above the water. Spectacular shapes and colours. Very exciting. Both agreed that watching the huge multi-hued blue one rocking and rolling, was one of the most amazing things we've ever seen, if a little Titanic scary!Læs mere

Upsala glacier and Estancia Cristina
9. februar 2016, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
This afternoon we disembarked iceberg ship at a very remote ranch settled by Herbert & Jessie from Lamington, Hampshire in the 1920s, they picked a lovely spot! Had a hairy 4x4 drive to get the best view of the Upsala glacier and the bluest blue lake left behind by the retreating glacier. And almost got blown away by the famous Patagonian winds. Met our first gaucho at the estancia (ranch).Læs mere

Torres del Paine Circuit
18. februar 2016, Chile ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C
We're back in Argentina having spent the last 7 days camping & hiking in the spectacular Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Group of 9 of us, 2 guides & 5 porters! Sun, rain, snow & lots of famous Patagonian wind, but overall lucky enough to see most if not all of the views. Condors, kestrels and eagles glided overhead & hares & foxes scurried away. Feet and legs ached and 8 nights camping was a bit of a challenge in the wind & rain. But a fabulous experience & a real sense of achievement. All that training in the home counties area was worth it! We need to download photos from the camera but got a few here.Læs mere

Epic scenery on the bus ride today. A bit of a treat to be seeing it from the front seats of the top deck! Staying for the next 6 days in our own little house. Guess what? Its really really windy.

In the pub
20. februar 2016, Argentina ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
So far El Chaltén is very wild, wet and windy. We've spent most of the day snoozing and watching telly. The mountains are there but we can't see them and the wind is shaking the house - so we have come next door to the pub for dinner.Læs mere

Laguna Torre
22. februar 2016, Argentina ⋅ 🌧 7 °C
The rain eased up today and we even had some sun so headed out on a 20km ramble. El Chaltén is called the "trekking capital" of Patagonia - there are lots of trails you can take straight from town. Mount Fitz Roy was still hiding, but we had a brief glimpse when the clouds parted! It snowed on us as we ate lunch at the glacier lagoon. Saw a condor very high above us.Læs mere

Viedma glacier
23. februar 2016, 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!Læs mere

Jeepers that looks incredible! Thea wants to know what animals live on the glacier! K x
24.02.2016Svar
Rejsende Hi 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.
