Torres del Paine, Chile
Glaciers are so cool so even though this is another forced mid day lighting shot I wanted to share. I was not willing to miss the ferry back and get stranded at the campsite for a change and still needed to a hustle a bit since I kept snapping some more photos. So even if it is a bit harsh lighting it was very fun to watch the icebergs drift around in the melt and to hear the cracking reverberate along the walls of the mountains and across the stones. The extra suspended sediment here though did make things a bit trickier as it was hard to get much of a reflection off the water even during calmer spells of the winds. A bit melancholic at points too as an older German fellow was on a return journey after 40 years and describing how this was a massive chunk of glacier towering here spilling onto the land and not at all a long lagoon far from the base of the glacier. It was too bad I did not carry out my telephoto as there was this incredible sublimating frosting along the tops of the peaks on the way back that felt very fantasy novel setting like.
