The wake of the Perito Moreno Glacier near El Cafayate in Argentina yields erratic ice cleaved from the massive glacier. The luminscent blue of the ice is difficult to fathom, radiating a color that my eyes and weak mind have yet to comprehend.
My last morning in Torres del Paine. Having hiked over a mountain pass in winds that literally knocked me down, I hoped the white out wouldnt lead to snow cover. I awoke to 10 inches of snow and a limited visibility which forced me to abort my ascent....though whats an experience in Patagonia without being toyed with by the volatile mistress of the mountains.
Perched on the mountain, I found solace after eight hours of hiking to the glacier with a 20 kilo pack and a headfull of anticipation. Blessed are when we find an ergonomic rock bed, replete with soft moss, to cradle us as we breath in such vistas.
Above is a view of light peering through a shroud of stunning cloud cover of Glacier Grey, flowing slowly like a pulsating muscle of ice into Lago Grey. A mineral rich water source that is completely potable and delectably delicious and vital.
This picture encompasses one of the multitude of glorious perspective available in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, Patagonia. Bathed in sunlight this tundra-esque ecosystem supports short scrubby vegetation that hugs the enigmatic granite peaks which loom in a two toned glory.
i'm loving the two toned glory!
