Day 10-11: Perito Moreno Glacier

On the first day of April, our group ended our stint of camping and drove across the wasteland between Chile and Argentina, crossing the border and landing in El Calafate, a town that has clearly flourished with the influx of tourists flocking to see the glaciers nearby. The most magnificent of these is Perito Moreno, a massive field of ice that is unlike anything we've ever seen. It is one of the few glaciers in the area that is not retreating, and it regularly calved large chunks of ice into the lake while we watched in awe. Hopefully, the pictures do it justice. On the 2nd, we took a tour that included an hour of walking on the glacier itself, followed by whiskey served over ancient glacial ice.
