Land meets sea meets sky on Lago Argentino – December 25, 2010

The largest body of fresh water in Argentina, Lago Argentino is the terminus of several southern Andean glaciers. As you might expect, it’s surrounded by mountains.

As the day went on, the views became more and more dramatic.

Clouds developed, until the interaction of sea and sky and mountain was heartstoppingly beautiful.

When the ship reached the dock at Estancia Cristina, we debarked and took a four-wheel drive vehicle over truly beautiful countryside to reach a viewpoint of the Upsala Glacier. The next post contains views of that countryside.
