Yesterday we spent quality time on the ice, today we got to enjoy a different perspective: seeing it from the water. Departing from Puerto Banderas, we settled into cozy leather recliners and navigated our way through Boca del Diablo along the northern fjord of Lago Argentina. For close to 90 minutes we sailed among huge icebergs and chunks of drift ice that pulsed with color in the early sun. If you’ve never seen icebergs – and I’ve not, until now – they’re transfixing. You want to see them from every angle; you want to touch them, to taste them.
Eventually we came to the imposing glacier in the video here: the Upsala Glacier, which covers some 370 square miles. To put that into perceptive, in the 1960’s an Argentine Air Force Captain actually landed a DC3 on the glacier.
