Ice Climbing in Patagonia
Blog: GoBackpacking - 29 March 2012
s the ferry approached Viedma Glacier, and the towering columns of deep blue ice came into focus, I felt a pang of anxiety for the first time. Ice climbing had been a childhood dream of mine. As an adult, I’d tear out the page of a National Geographic Adventure story about ice climbing on an [...]

Photo of the Day: Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciers National Park
Blog: Two Backpackers - 12 August 2011

Boats allow you to get up close and gain a better perspective of the glacier’s size and structure. Large crevasses reach deep into the ice field, but continually fall off as the glacier slowly slides. The [...]

The Perito Moreno Glacier: So Cool, It’s…Cool
Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 13 May 2011
Seville has started its annual swelter for summer and it looks like the rest of Europe's not far behind. So, for a quick chill out on this Friday afternoon, I thought I'd delve into the archives and bring you plenty of ice, ice baby, in the form of the Perito Moreno glacier in Patagonia. It's one of the few glaciers in the world that's

65,000kms of ebb and flow?
Blog: The Road Chose Me - 50,000kms of ebb and flow - 19 January 2011
On my way into Buenos Aires in early December I eagerly watched the odometer as it rolled over the magical 50,000 kilometers since leaving Calgary a year and a half ago. Tierra Del Fugeo is only a measly 3,000km from BA, making my wild guess amazingly close, all things considered. In light of passing the [...]

3/31/10: Bariloche, Argentina But really: anytime: anywhere We stand nervously on the corner, counting down the minutes.
