Argentina: El Calafate

Puerto Madryn was a low time in the trip, because we did go there in right timing...

Then, what waiting for us the biggest glacier in the world(excluding those in Antartica). Seems we were a bit running out of luck. It rained.
Though, the huge glacier is still impressive. It called Moreno Glacier. And it carries a sky blue even though it was a rainy day. (later on I found out why it is blue)

We first took a close look via a boat trip. Then, had a small hike and see it from the top.
You can feel it is alive! Every 5 - 10 minutes you will see piece (as big as buses though) of ice fall into the sea, with crack sound and big wave...

The glaciers are grand and wonderful in the other side of the world. It liked a TVB film on "冰天動地" showed in the end of 2008. Some TVB stars and HKU specilists described on Global Changes on Warmer Weather in several places in Glacier area to discover the changes of glaciers and the people living there to their effect in daily life. Please take care of their foods and adapt to the cold weather. Swine Flu in Hong Kong have three cases now.
