El Calafate - Perito Moreno 08.february.2004

Million years of ice advance and make a natural dam to water in Perito Moreno.


Get up and have a day trip to Perito Moreno. Take the sandroads on your own if you have a car or by bus. Get out of the bus and take that in your face: Moreno Glaciar. 60 meter high, this glacier advance slowly to the water. Sometimes the gigantic piece of Ice detach from the masse and crach into the water. A half second later you hear a big BANNG, and see the wave that they are producing. You can go by boat to see them. I didn t. I took a secret walk into the bush. The place is like all the other place in Argentina: beautifull landscape...I don t like cold but with that view I don t care. And I m a luky boy: the sun shine, and the colors of the glaciar seem to take a blue tint. This million years of ice didn t formed since 1988.
