Glaciers around El Calafate

What Iceberg ??

In fact some were pretty hard to miss

ahhh....that iceberg


Upsala Glacier

We went out for a tour of some of the glaciers around El Calafate....it was an all day boat trip (great! thought Debo....but it´s better than the 4 days we were looking at in Puerto Montt). First we went to Glacier Spegazzini, which is the tallest in the national park, then on, through the icebergs (loads of them) to Glacier Upsala - the largest glacier in the park. After that we went on to Lago Onelli, which used to have a glacier (about 1000 years ago), but is now covered in more icebergs. The whole trip was amazing, and certainly worth the effort to get down here....and again the pictures don´t do it justice !!
