To the Other Side -- El Calafate

After spending 3 days in Chile's side of the Patagonia, we drove across to Argentina. A 6 hours drive took us to the Argentina's side to El Calafate. In the southern most part of Argentina, we got to see the Glacier Moreno. One of the biggest glaciers in the region. I know, we got the weather. Unfortunately, we didn't get to walk on the glacier (which was the part I was most looking forward to).




On the first day in Calafate, we spent the day on a boat. The boat took us around the Los Glaciares National Park where we saw three glaciers- Upsala, Onelli and Glacier Moreno. Glacier Moreno was the biggest one of the three. Though the sky was dark in the morning and there was rain, we still managed to get good shots of the landscapes. There were many glaciers along the way. The boat took us pretty close to the glaciers and we managed to see bits of the glacier falling at times.

 Glacier Onelli. 2nd stop on the boat ride.

 Sorry, my father doesn't really like to take photos. haha
