We went to the Perito Moreno glacier yesterday outside El Calafate and who showed up but Cristina Kirchner, president of Argentina! There is a new walkway and overlook system and she came to dedicate it on the anniversary of Lake Argentina's discovery. I've never heard the president of any country speak but now there are two photos of national leaders on STL DPB (this being the other one). It was quite a thrill. Oh, and the glacier was pretty nice, too.
TOMORROW: mucho mas hielo.

The last photo in particular is a real eye grabber. Care to share how you got the shot?
ReplyDeleteAmazing images.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat coincidence that you saw Kirchner!
Do you send Albert, The Gorecal of Doom an e-mail and tell him you saw no evidence of "Global Warming"?
Looks like the glacier was having babies, too. You're getting quite a show -:))
ReplyDeleteThree truly GRAND photos of the glaciers!
