Glacier Moreno

Larger chunks that break off, as you see here, often drift down-river for a long time, until they melt

This is a real ice age-like landscape, where glaciers that once covered this land, ground or smoothed rock

This is what the boat looks like, approaching Moreno. You can also see a larger chunk of ice right there. The skipper stays well away from those things.

Land doesn't stop the calving. The mass of ice pushing forward is too huge and so it just dumps the debris on land.

A look from above give one an idea how the glacier flows, like a very thick liquid, in a way, down the slopes and into the lake.

Inspite of appearing blue, the ice is really white to semi-translucent, but ice absorbs red frequencies and only blue (short wavelenghts) escape.

A bird that I did get a name for. My bird loving friend said that this is a male Patagonian Sierra Finch. Good enough for me.
