Ice is back with a brand new edition.....#

Enough of Vanilla Ice raps now! I travelled down to the south of Argentina to visit one of the highlights of my trip- the Perito Moreno Glacier. SO COOL!!!!!! I´d seen photos of it before I went, and they really don´t do it any justice.

The glacier is 30km long and the faces are 60m high. It is so big! The glacier advances at 2m a day, and if you hang around on the viewing platforms watching, you can see chunks of ice fall off into the water. Very noisy! It was so beautiful to watch. Some parts are so white that it is nearly blinding when the sun reflects its light, and some parts look blue.

The only problem in this area is the temperature- it is so cold! I´ve had to buy a new warm coat which although looks slightly hideous, has kept me snug and warm! There has been lots of snow- fun to walk in, but annoying when it means that the 23 hour bus journey that I was prepared for ended up taking 31 hours!!!

Still having fun though!
