More Glaciares!
Lago de Los Tres, at sundown.

Glaciares National Park, Argentina
This is a pocket-sized park that surrounds Monte Fitz Roy.
Our bus broke down on the way there, stranding us for three hours or so. I and a few others entertained ourselves by pegging rocks at a large stone from the berm that lined the road (three hits in about twenty minutes... not easy). Eric, who I hiked with later, cracked open a bottle of wine with his wife.
This is the glacier on the back (west) side of the Poincenot needle and Fitz Roy. The is a lake cupped by enormous piles of loose galcial scree, which was very difficult to hike around to get adjacent to the glacier. It was intensely windy on the way back, enough so to move you a foot or two sideways each time you took a step.
Close up of the seracs at the foot of the glacier.
Lago de los Tres, at the foot of Fitz Roy. It's about a hour's hike from the campsite. This photo was taken near sunset; another hiker loaned me a trekking pole to help me get out to this rock without taking a tumble into the lake.
This is the view on the way out of Los Piedras camp site. There are a lot of brooks of utterly clear glacier meltwater, with duckboards and small bridges over them.
