El Calafate

Argentina, 06. December 2016
Domestic flight!
Next stop: the south of Argentina to hike through Patagonia. El Clafate has an airport and that saves us a 48-hour bus trip, so we fly here. From here we can visit the Perito Moreno glacier and prepare to move deeper into Patagonia.
The small city of El Calafate is only a base for further trekking, although there is some street-art to look away from.
Glacier Perito Moreno is already impressive from var away.
But from up close you really get a sense of the wall of ice. Winter is coming!
Photos don't really do the glacier justice, not even when using the panoramic function
Large chunks of ice break of the glacier (usually with a lot of noise that sounds like thunder).
