Tag 52 - 58:
Die letzten 8 Tage verbrachten wir in den zwei argentinischen Dörfern in Südpatagonien. Im Umkreis von 200 Kilometern gibt's eigentlich nur Steppe, zwei riesige Seen, gefüllt mit Gletscherwasser und im Westen die südlichen Ausläufer der Anden mit den gewaltigen Eismassen. Das Klima ist hier sehr rau: permanenter, sehr starker …

We weren’t unduly sorry; we hoped to take up the suggestion made by our ...
Walking on a glacier's face
... at least 45 minutes and all uphill. Lots of cow poop on the way too. It was also a very steep hill, so I felt like a mountain goat. We finally arrived at the Big Ice campsite where they strapped us in harnesses "in case of emergency" - really comforting and it was lovely to have a wedgie for the next 5 hours.
The crampons are amazing in terms of how well they allowed you to grip the ...
