So the 7 of us decided to take a day long cruise within the Parque Nacional Los Glaciars to see 3 glaciers. Seemed like a great idea at the time but in hindsight I should have done the Perito Moreno ice walk

We were onboard a large passenger ship, with seating for 320 ....and there were around 280 onboard but it felt more like 500. You could escape the crowd below to the deck above but that cold Patagonian wind would get you.

Upsala glacier was our first destination, unfortunately it started to rain and it was cold so being on the deck was not particularly pleasant. This is the longest glacier in South America and the largest one in Argentina

stats: lenght 60km. surface area 595km2. width 6km. height 60-80m

The glacier bears the name of the Swedish town whose university sponsored the first glacialogical exploration of it at the turn of the 20th century.

After a few hours we managed to muscle our way onto a table and make our lunch, we came prepared, including corkscrew on hand. What would a meal on this trip be without a nice bottle of red wine

In the early afternoon the ship docked and everyone got off....into pouring rain, to be herded for about 20 mins to see Onelli glacier
