Im Reich der Gletscher angekommen
... heissen Dusche, einer grossen Familien-Pizza (der Kellner fragte zweimal nach, ob das nicht zu viel fuer mich sei:-) und einer erholsamen Nacht besuchte ich den Perito Moreno Gletscher, sowie den Lago Argentino.

Walking on a big piece of ICE ICE baby
... cracks and formations in the ice.............well see for
yourself, but pictures don't really capture it.All of the water in this park is safe to drink, whether it is from a lake, glacier or stream.
