I wish I could say that I wasted my time visiting the famous Moreno Glacier, one of the few advancing glaciers in the world. I wish I could say that it´s just a big ice cube and nothing much really happens there. I say this because she really wanted to see the glacier, but we didn´t think we had the time to pack that into our first two weeks. I wish I could say that for her.

I wish I could say the glacier wasn´t the single most spectacular and possibly most beautiful thing I have ever seen in nature. I wish I could say we all didn´t just stand there, mouths agape upon seeing it, and I wish I could say that we were not totally transfixed as blocks of ice the size of apartment buildings peeled off of the glacier to crash spectacularly into the lake below. I wish I could say that a two-hundred-foot tall chunk of ice that stretched off all the way to the horizon was not something both awesome and beautiful to behold, and I wish I could say that the creaks and cracks and explosions coming from the ice weren´t sounds I will remember forever.

But I can´t.

If you ever feel compelled to visit Argentina, and really, you all SHOULD, you must, MUST visit the glacier.

I´ll write more about it later. But as I may not have time to post for a while, I wanted to put the pictures up today.

Enjoy. The rest of the hundred or so pictures I took at the glacier are here . If you want more, I´ll upload them when I get the chance.
