Hiking in Patagonia 3 The perita Moreno Glacier

We went by  bus to the glacier but stopped at a small harbour a few kilometres before the face of the glacier to take a boat. We sailed up to the southern face but the weather was not great. It was still a wonderful experience.
We went on to the balconies that overlook the face of the glacier. Not the biggest (2nd) but the most stunning. It is claimed to be the best views of a glacier in the world. It lived up to its reputation.
We spent the rest of the day walking around the observation decks,high and low looking at the three faces. We heard the amazing sounds of the ice cracking and saw sections fall into the water.

What a stunner...and also a great glacier!

We could clearly see 15 km to the rocks and beyond to the mountains.
A wonderful place to visit
