Imagine a huge glacier sitting in a cup and hanging over the edge of a 2000 foot cliff and you have Ventisquero Colgante. This place is cool! pardon the pun.

Crash, Boom, Rumble as the huge chunks of ice break off the glacier.

Probably my best photo of this magnificent place. See the waterfall in the middle draing towards the right, that´s the residual rock and water being released. You could feel and hear the rumble from the campground more than a mile away.
