Perito Moreno
El Calafate, Argentina
Today it was hard to find a headline. We left Chile yesterday and entered Argentina.
Chile: We have nothing but great memories. Such friendly people. We felt safe everywhere. It's clean, and the traffic (except for Santiago) is very pedestrian-friendly. Chile is a dream for all nature lovers and hikers.
Upon arriving in El Calafate, we attended an astronomy course. Extremely interesting. We saw the Southern Cross, Jupiter, Alpha Centauri, and much more.
Today we visited the Perito Moreno glacier and witnessed several ice calvings. Very impressive, unfortunately not photographable so quickly. The ice calvings occur because the ice presses on the water, and the water pressure creates a counterpressure that leads to splintering.
The glacier shimmers bluish; in some places, it even appears blue: the more compressed the ice is, the bluer it looks.
A sad truth: This glacier is also melting. The last image in our series shows how much it has melted at the edge since 2020.
The bird is a Bandurria, which also lives in Australia. It is a type of ibis, and it eats mice and rats as well.
