Holy cow, what a day. I woke up pretty early cause I could not sleep that much. Due to excitement and a roommate in the hostel snores...even with my ear plugs I had difficulty draining it out. The hostel is so sweet, they are very helpful here and give good advice. Plus they are pretty sweet people.
Anyways Glacier Perito Moreno was sooo amazing. First, we saw probably about 4 different ice pieces falls throughout the day into the lake, and the last one was HUGE, luckily I got someones email who has it on video!
Now for the trekking on the glacier. I found out it was more expensive than I thought, but now I dont care cause it was so worth it. The blueness of the ice when you walk on it and cross crevasses is undescribeable. At one point we had to cross a small creek that was way to deep to walk past. One of the guides hacked off a chunk of ice in hopes that it would create a bridge..well it did work until I went down the vertical side put one foot on and started to do the splits...Pablo the other guide quickly took his pick ice and stabbed it to stop me from going down, they were able to reposition the block of ice and thus i stepped across and climbed the other side.
Just a small glimpse and it was just amazing. I have never seen anything like it and hope to find more adventures ahead! I leave Calafate tomorrow and head to Chalten. Hope for good weather so I can see some peaks!
