In the middle of the Ice

Location: El Calafate, Argentine
Now it’s time to go south, we stayed in El Calafate for few Days to visit the Glacier around.
The city is very touristic and there is way too much French people, I think there was like 50% of French tourist here. But I like the city, It look like a ski resort village in the alps, it reminded me some good memories!!


 First day we went on the biggest Glacier of the area, to do Ice climbing and it was an amazing day!!
The Glacier is not very touristic so there was almost nobody that was cool, and unlike everything that I’ve done in South America before, the place was very clean, there wasn’t any waste left there by bad tourist!!

We start the day by a boat trip to go to the Glacier, we had a very nice view.
Then we put on crampon and start walking on the ice. we climb a bit on a ice wall from the bottom of a small crevasse, it was very cool !!


Then we had a walk on the Glacier to get some very nice view. And a small stop to take a baileys on the Rock with some Icecube about 60 000 year old!!




The second day here we did the most touristic part of the area, the Perito Moreno glacier,








And The last day we just relax and stay in the city… :D
