nike sb lunar one shot red, There we boarded a trimaran to cross the huge glacier-fed lake one of the largest lakes coming off a glacier in Patagonia The lake was a surreal turquoise/mint green the result of "glacier flour" minerals from the glacier that remained suspended in the water While there was a tour leader inside I missed the talk because I was acting as a human bowsprit feeling the wind and watching the clouds whip around as I stood at the bow of the boat There are few things I love more than being outside in the elements as a boat flies over the water From a distance we could see this largest longest of Argentine glaciers flowing down from the high cloud-shrouded mountains The sides of the glacier lapped over orange/gold rocks that had been under the glacier only twenty years before These volcanic rhyolite rocks had been gouged with grooves and scoured sinuously smooth by the retreating glacier and were covered with red turquoise gold violet and indigo minerals that contrasting stunningly with the turquoise waters A visual treat and we'd only just begun The boat sailed up to the glacier keeping Glacier Viedma treka respectable distance in case it calved sending an iceberg into the lake and potentially swamping us Everyone rushed out of the cabin and crowded around on deck as we slowly motored along the glacier's 2 km-long snout (front-edge) as it towered 50 meters above us We lingered allowing awe and photos and savoring the spectacle of the glacier's jagged lines and colors ranging from deep indigo to lapis to cobalt to baby blue and every shade between as you can see in the panorama at the top of this page The glacier was also streaked with dark lines from ash from old eruptions of nearby volcanoes Since half of the group had come only for the glacier viewing we spent lots of time enjoying this impressive perspective from the boat Walking on Whipped Cream Peaks Finally we sailed back across the length of the snout and half of us disembarked for the ultimate adventure of trekking on the ice Separated into language groups the Spanish speakers composed a huge group while we English speakers were lucky to have a small group of seven which could go faster and thus further out on the glacier Getting off on our group of 7 on a ridge looking down into a cravassethe gorgeous rounded rhyolite rocks I was surprised at how slick-smooth they were Climbing them was a bit tricky in my well-worn smooth-soled boots but after about 30 minutes of scrambling we all reached the glacier We strapped on crampons and were instructed on how to ascend descend and walk around ridges Walking with crampons was more challenging than I had thought and we awkwardly clomped up to the glacier's surface Waves of frozen ice stretched forever in fanciful shapes resembling whipped cream peaks and the sensuous shapes of an Arthur Dove painting Seracs crevasses and caves were sculpted by the wind and the uneven movement of the glacier's flow creating a bizarre churned-up desert of ice with very few flat surfaces Most of our time was spent climbing up down and around these soft-looking peaks However looks were deceptive and I sliced up my hands when I once grabbed one to steady myself I remembered "This is sharp ice not soft snow" To mount the ridges we'd kick the toe of our sharp crampons into the ice which was so hard it would support our whole weight as we climbed up Then with our feet climbing up to a ridgesplayed duck-style (to avoid nicking ourselves with the crampons) we walked along the ridges single-file (just as my climbing heroes did on their ascents of Everest) From the crest of the ridges we carefully peered down into seemingly bottomless crevasses Since the wild Patagonian wind was gusting as usual we had to work to keep our balance and not fall off ridges or worse yet into a crevasse It made the trekking more difficult but more fun too The ice deep in the crevasses was an intense pure blue I'd never before seen Indeed this blue exists only in the depths of glaciers where the longer blue light waves are the only ones that can penetrate so deeply The colors change through an infinite palette of blues up the walls of the crevasse to the surface These crevasses were easy enough to avoid if you kept your balance in the wind However glacier walks are cancelled after a light dusting of snow when the crevasses can be covered and one can fall through the thin crust of snow and down into the depths Yikes We continued walking up and down ridges for a couple of hours whipped cream peaks--lots of ascents and descentsencountering ice caves little turquoise lakes erratic boulders and endless fantastic ice sculptures Finally our guide took out her ice pick and chunked shards of glacier ice into cups over which she poured some tasty Bailey's Irish Cream We toasted the glacier and each other--a perfect ending to our adventure We clumped sideways down the glacier (to keep from sliding down) removed our crampons then scurried down the rocks for a fine boat ride back across Lake Viedma This time I was happy to sit inside warm with my new friends and basking in the satisfaction of having a dream come true Previous Entry Next Entry Additional photos belowPhotos: 29 Displayed: 28

Sorry I try to introduce this site for travelling to Venice.
