This Glacier is big

---

On march 20th I flew into El calafate a very touristic town middle of some most barren land. Its whole existence seemed to be due to two reasons a move to El chalten and explore the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares (national park famous for Fritz roy, a beautiful peak) and visit Perito Moreno Glacier. I signed up for a ice hiking tour on the glacier. This is a big glacier 5km wide and 170 meters high on the front end. Its a km high at its deepest point and is only glacier in the world (along with others in the same region) which is growing. The pressured ice refracts light and appears blue to turquoise. Walking on the glacier was an amazing feeling, with blue crevasse and pure whiteness.
