Grey Glacier
December 4, 2018 in Chile ⋅ 🌙 4 °C
Julie and I went in separate directions today, she to take on another hiking challenge to Lazo Weber and me to see ice at the Grey Glacier.

Julie was gone all day. More of the usual (and incredible) natural surroundings to discover, including flowers and guanacos. The hike itself was long and arduous--just how she likes it!.

My trip involved a van ride to the ferry dock, a short hike to the boat, a relaxing cruise with stunning views of the glacier, and a return to our dome home.Read more
TravelerGorgeous wild country! The fungus is called Cyttaria, edible, only found in the southern hemisphere.

TravelerThanks for your expertise, Amy. The tour guides on our cruise agreed with you and called it by its local name, "Indian bread".

Traveler The dark rocks (as opposed to the light ones in the foreground) look like a huge mass of schist or slate! Incredible scene!
