Into Argentina - The Moreno Glacier

It was a relatively short drive from Calafate to Lago Roca, our campsite for the next few nights.

From there, we headed to the Moreno Glacier. It is the last advancing glacier in South America (or was advancing...with Global Warming...who knows if that's still true). It really was magnificent!

Just made our way to the various look-out points...View image and, it was even sunny that day.

...walked the glacier-viewing trails, and watched for bergs to calve off with those tremendous "booms"

...a relaxing, enjoyable day.

Then back to Camp Lago Roco for dinner....on the Argentina side we had real Gauchos assisting our camp crew!....View image.....a good night's sleep, and then some breakfast in preparation for another strenous day of hiking.
