Our next stop was the Parque National de Los Glacier, just across the border into Argentina. Not really that far away, but the rather tedious border crossing made it much longer. The landscape here is so different; huge expanses of yellow pampas - grazing land, stretching for miles beneath a sky filled with amazing cloud formations that are everlastingly changing in the wind.
We booked a trip on a catamaran across the Lago Argentino, to see a few of the more famous glaciers of the Sothern Icecap. A pleasant way to see a lot of landscapes in just one day, and somehow, I can never tire of seeing ice, ice and more ice.... The glaciers are impressive, and because of the gradient, some of them, like Pedito Moreno, are actually advancing instead of receeding and you can see huge chunks of ice breaking off the face into the water with a splash.
We finished our day by eating enormous steaks and drinking lovely wine - of course!
