... br><br>Within two hours you are viewing this bad boy. It´s right there. The size is so difficult to express and share with others. We didn´t even get within arms reach, and yet we felt as if we stood beneath a mountain. It´s over 60km long, over 5km wide, and a near 30 stories tall. The small pebbles, what seem to look like pebbles..., boom from the ice face and fall with a shuttering sound that resembles a car in a ...

... visual muito bonito. Em certo trecho existe tanto gelo que nao eh possivel continuar navegando, impedidndo nossa visita ao Glaciar Upsala e a Baia Onelli. O nome Upsala eh homenagem a Universidade Upsala, perto de Estocolmo, que realizou diversas pesquisas naquele glaciar.<br><br>Em seguida navegamos em direcao do Glaciar Spegazzini, nome de um botanico italiano. No trajeto pudemos ver outros glaciares menores sobre as montanhas, Glaciar Seco por exemplo. O ...

... came out in full force. Both were welcome as our ponchos, shirts and pants dried in no time with the massive gusts of wind. We could lean fully against the wind and have it prop us up. It was amazing. We were gifted with fantastic views of Lago Pehoe and the hills. Paine Grande cleared up and we could see small clouds blowing over its top, which put us in all smiles (except for our wet shoes and socks) by the time we got ...

... lake to the other shore forming a natural dam splitting the lake into two halves. As the melting ice water is traspped, the water-level on the Brazo Rico side of the lake can rise by up to 30 meters above the level of the main lake. You can see the water line on the banks and there is no tree growth there. The enormous pressure produced by dammed water finally breaks the ice barrier holding it back, in a ...

... the horseshoe of mountains containing it. Because it is trying to grow outwards in multiple directions, you see and hear the cracking of ice and the breaking off of chunks; as the glacier cannot physically grow outwards without the support of the mountains it has left behind. Approaching the glacier close-up on our trek was anticipation at its best. Our hike was pleasant; and once we got to the glacier itself; we put on our crampons to assist our trek on the glaciar itself. We were ...

Arrivés à l'aéroport d'El Calafate après quelques heures de vol, nous prenons la navette qui nous emmène à l'hostel. Celui-ci est nettement plus confortable que le Palermo Soho Hostel de Buenos Aires. Nous allons nous promener au centre-ville, c'est une grosse bourgade de la province de Santa Cruz qui s'est développée principalement grâce au tourisme et à son aéroport. Sa population est passée de 5000 habitants à 20000 habitants en seulement quelques années. Nous ...

... Francisco &amp; Frederico * Dulce De Lece - Caramel like spread, that they have with most breakfasts, lunches and in puddings. Great sugar rush when you need it most * The Argentine people - have met so many great people, who love to chat and and are more than willing to help with our Spanish. A great country, with some great people living in it (all of whom love England and speak very highly of our country) Things we dislike about Argentina ...

... a chanter dans un francais parfait une chanson de Gilbert Beco.... Les parents ne se sentant plus si etrangers et commencant a apprecier l'ambiance, ne se sont pas fait pries quand le doyen et neanmoins poete du groupe leur a demande de chanter la marseillaise (aue bon nombre d'entre eux connaissaient pour l'voir apprise a l'ecole).... L'ambiance etait bon-enfant, les parents s'en sont donnes a coeur-joie, le bus etait ravi de les entendre et j'etais ...

... beeindruckend und wund**schoen, und mal wied** haben wir sup** Sonnenschein, so dass die Tour zu einem richtigen Genuss wird. Ueb** Eis zu laufen ohne abzurutschen ist auch mal ein witziges Erlebnis. Wir hatten uns vor d** Tour vorgestellt, dass die Guides uns ganz genau sagen, wo wir hintreten sollen und wo nicht, ab** sie schlappen einfach ganz entspannt mit uns mit und geben so ei*****massen die Richtung vor. Wir fragen sie etwas v**wund**t, ob denn hi** noch nie jemand ...

... todo es que envié varios e-mails para asegurarme de que no habían cambiado el horario en el que zarpaba el naviero y que saldríamos el 26 de noviembre ....hasta ahora no había habido ningún cambio. Pero la respuesta a mi último e-mail (enviado el 20 de noviembre) decía que hace un mes cambiaron el planning del naviero y que ese miércoles va a transportan solamente combustible ..... Richard y yo no somos suficientemente ...
