glacier perito moreno

this was the second glacier that i'd seen in a few days while down in patagonia - glacier perito moreno in el calafate, argentina. this one was a lot bigger, unbelievably the same size as buenos aires, and also it's one of the few glaciers that is actually growing. as a result of this it's common to see pieces break and fall off. it's quite a surreal but awe-inspiring moment when you hear it creak and sigh, and then turn to see a huge clump of ice come tumbling down to the icy lake below.

here's the original
Can you really walk on it?! Was it really this blue? Did you photoshop in the flowers?

flowers and colour are both real. i think there's some kind of ice trekking you can do - but i'm pretty sure it would be suicide to do it on what you see here
