PATAGONIA 2007

FITZ ROY AND LOS GLACIARES NATIONAL PARK (Oct 2007)    photos

It's hardly an adventure to go by luxury boat to see a couple of glaciers, but that's the only way to visit that part of the National Park.  The boats take tourists to some of the most spectacular glaciers in Patagonia, including a 100m high wall of Spegazzini Glacier.  Onelli lake is full of little icebergs in all shapes imaginable.  On the way to the glaciers one can see a lot of proper icebergs, their size makes ships look like little toys floating in a paddle.  The ones made of deep-blue ice are especially beautiful, it's a pity the ships have to maintain a super-safe distance.

Back in El Calafate, I was eating my last steaks and wondering how many more tourists can this town accommodate.  The next day I took a bus across the border to Chile.
