Patagonia Pictures (Glacier Trips)

 

We took a tour in zodiacs to visit the Serrano and  Balmaceda Glaciers. We all agree that this was one of our most fun excursions. 

 

It was powerful to show the kids the different glaciers, and talk about climate change . We explained that 35 years ago this glacier was touching the water. It reminded them of the documentary, Chasing the Ice.

Fun at the hotel between glacier excursions. It was really great that the hotel had so much free space for the kids to roam. We spent a lot of time supervising from the warmth inside while they ran around for hours. 

The Grey Glacier is very different. It is part of the southern ice field and is massive. 

On our way out of the park we stopped at this hotel in the middle of Lago Pehoe to have lunch. But, I begged Carl to pass after reading that the lunch was 'pig pulp'. No idea what that is, but I surely didn't care to find out.

I have been impressed with the picture quality from my phone. We finally did the Salto Grande hike (from the super windy day). The views were as wonderful as we expected.
