Lago Argentino y Glaciar Perito Moreno
in the steppes along the lakeside
looking back toward the nearby town of El Calafate
the calafate bush (Magellan barberry) which gives the town its name
the notro (chilean firetree), which lights up the Andean foothills
inside Los Glaciares National Park, Tom shoots a first view of the Perito Moreno glacier
an area resident, the black-faced ibis
a first view of the ice cave in the Canal de los Tempanos
looking up along the glacier
the north face of the glacier
getting closer
glacier ice bridges across this arm of the lake and grinds into the near shore
an amazing range of blues
a Patagonian sierra finch
climbing back up to the vistor's center
through the steppe...
...and beech forest
"Indian bread" fungus
with Tom on a boat tour of the Brazo Rico and the glacier's south face
the ice cave seen from the south
more amazing blues
the edge of the glacier
not all the water comes into the lake via the glacier
a small party of ice trekkers...
...way in the distance
heading back to port
a last look back
a panorama of the lake and first view of the glacier
Marla overlooking a panorama of Glaciar Moreno
