Trekking on the glacier



The gap that can be seen is all that seperates the 2 lakes the Perito Moreno glacier is situated on. Sometimes, generally every 3 years the glacier advances and closes this gap up meaning that this lake which is also fed by a river can increase to 20m higher than the other.




Getting kitted out for crampons







Ice holes in the glacier




Our guide also takes people who have the "balls" glacier diving. I found the image below on the web, looks dangerous to me.

Whats this?




Possibly the coldest bar in the world?










A cow skull on the shore...... that died by natural causes. Natural causes in Argentina is via a bullet to the head, to be naturally eaten on their exceptional BBQs, Parillas.
