Moreno Glacier in Argentina
Went to the Moreno Glacier in Argentina. It is a wide valley in the mountains filled with a huge ice field that slowly progresses and recedes about 2 metres a day. It looks almost looks like the icing of a cake with evenly spaced spikes. I had a look by boat and by land.
By boat we approached it by the side and then saw some pieces break off and splash into the water. What was neat and unexpected was the wake that that caused to boat to rock back and forth despues.
From land, I actually prefered it because I could go down some stairs and was away from the mobs of tourists and able to enjoy it quietly. Just sitting, viewing the mountain range and ice mountains, breathing the cool fresh air while listening for the occasional creak and then a muffled crash. Muffled crash like when stuff falls down inside a closed closet: but much more naturifically.
