Today we visited the Perito Moreno Glacier - it was a very exciting day! It is the most famous glacier, mainly because of its accessibility. It has boardwalks so you have prime locations for viewing at different levels. Up and down lots of steps, hope my legs aren’t aching tomorrow. There was some cloud cover in the morning and a bit of a shower but the afternoon was blue skies. Our guide walked us around in the morning explaining lots about the process. We saw lots of small chunks of ice falling off and also a large calving (which was exciting). The noise comes first, like a crack, then you wait and see if it will fall where you can see it or not. When it fell there were large chunks of ice that hit the water and then turned upside down, the ice was often very blue. We went to The Glaciarium on the way back into town, a glaciological centre with lots of technical information- it’s not just a pile of ice 😄
