Dec 31, 2006 - A full day on the boat seeing more glaciers

On the last day of 2006, I spend the day on a boat going up the various northern arms of Lago Argentina, where I saw five major (continental, not just mountainous) glaciers, including Upsala Glacier - the largest glacier in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares and the longest one in South America (covering 400 square miles).On the last day of 2006, I spend the day on a boat going up the various northern arms of Lago Argentina, where I saw five major (continental, not just mountainous) glaciers, including Upsala Glacier - the largest glacier in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares and the longest one in South America (covering 400 square miles)....

Nov 24, 2006 - Into the epic Chilean wilderness

We spent the night in Punta Arenas, although this did allow time for a visit to a particularly good seafood restaurant and a bar recommended by Lonely Planet which it said was where all the Antarctic explorers headed to discuss their expeditions.We spent the night in Punta Arenas, although this did allow time for a visit to a particularly good seafood restaurant and a bar recommended by Lonely Planet which it said was where all the Antarctic explorers headed to discuss their expeditions....

Aug 14, 2006 - Moreno Glacier

We caught a scenic bus across the border into Argentina past vast open expanses of untouched glittering snow, just crying out for footprints. We booked a local bus the following day up to see the star attraction, the Moreno Glacier. ... As we were about to clamber aboard the bus, the driver managed to get his arm wedged in the automatic door.We caught a scenic bus across the border into Argentina past vast open expanses of untouched glittering snow, just crying out for footprints.

Feb 18, 2006 - Der fantastische Circuit um die Torres del Paine - Tag eins und zwei.

Die etwa zwölfstündige Busfahrt nach Punta Arenas (etwa 100 $) war alles in allem eher von der unbequemeren Sorte gewesen infolge der recht geringen Beinfreiheit.Die etwa zwölfstündige Busfahrt nach Punta Arenas (etwa 100 $) war alles in allem eher von der unbequemeren Sorte gewesen infolge der recht geringen Beinfreiheit....

Ecuador - Chile

Nov 14, 2005 - Fade to Grey

So up for a nice shower and a nice cooked breakfast - this is the way I like to rough it -and then rather than get a minibus, I walked to where I had to pick up the bus, which allowed me to se the Torres from lots of different angles and loosen my legs up again.So up for a nice shower and a nice cooked breakfast - this is the way I like to rough it -and then rather than get a minibus, I walked to where I had to pick up the bus, which allowed me to se the Torres from lots of different angles and loosen my legs up again....

Apr 23, 2005 - Torres del Paine & Glacier Gray & Icebergs!

Day 9 Our last day in Chile started at 7am (and -2 degrees) on a bus out to the National Park, north of Puerto Natales. We could have taken a day trip to Argentina's Moreno Glacier, which is the most famous one, but Dave didn't fancy 12 hours straight in a bus. ... I on the other hand have been so enjoying my books on this trip, I don't mind how many long bus rides and plane journeys we have! Except The Da Vinci Code was responsible for me having NO sleep on the trip from sydney to santiago, so that's not good! Back to this trip, hope you can grasp the beauty of the glacier from the photos.Day 9 Our last day in Chile started at 7am (and -2 degrees) on a bus out to the National Park, north of Puerto Natales.
