Ever Been To Another Planet?
Well, that's kind of how I felt when approaching the front wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier in El Calafate, Argentina. It was a cloudy day and it made the experience seem even more serious. As you can see, the ice is blue. The water is so pure and full of minerals that the blue can get rather intense.

Wow, that's crazy. I've never seen blue snow! ..Is that an animal in the middle of the water on the right?
It looks like a very risky shot. How close did you get? When I went to Alaska they wouldn’t let us get very close to the glaciers because when of large waves when a piece of ice would break off. The colors are great, and I like always like the fracture lines in the ice.
Dolph, it wasn't risky at all. It was taken about 100 or so feet away (I'm a bad distance estimator). After our group landed, we were hiking to the glacier and it was surreal. We later went hiking on the glacier. That was cool. If you are interested, there are more shots I have on the google photo site.

Hi Lea. No animal on the right. It's all rocks. And it is crazy. Surreal.
