Stunning views and exciting treks

Another thing that needs to be seen to be believed. Wow! That is amazing that the snow breaking off takes 300 years to compact, form ice and sink to the bottom. I did not know that! How on earth will you outdo this trip. Take care and enjoy. Speak to you soon. Fantastic.
