The glacier is the 3rd largest in Argentina. The first is to the north near Fitz Roy Mountain, the second is Upsala glacier which is to the north of Perito Moreno, the glacier we saw today. There was so much ice that we could not believe what we were seeing. There was much blue ice. This is caused when the ice is more dense and the light refraction is changed. The fact that it had been raining there made the blue coloring more pronounced. So we were lucky that it rained. I will stick to being unlucky. We also saw people climbing on the glacier but were glad to be in the bus or on a covered boat instead of in the rain. We walked on so many broken wooden boardwalks that resembled Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom that I thought I saw Harrison Ford in the distance. We also saw a person who fell and appeared to have broken an ankle from walking on the bad boards or from missing a step on the hill. Bad place to get hurt. 1-1/2 hour ambulance ride in from town just to look at you and then the same distance back. We took a boat ride to within 100 meters of the south face of the glacier. The boat was a large boat that held about 200 passengers. The close up look at the glacier and the ice flows in the lake was breathtaking. The wind was a bit strong but it was worth it to be so close to the glacier. Tomorrow we take a much smaller boat around the lake and glaciers to Estancia Cristina to go hiking in the forest near the glaciers. After 3 weeks in Argentina we not only can ask where the bathroom is but we are now able to order appetizers and desert. Wow, are we fast learners!
