Patagonia Argentina and Chile
Here are some shots from my recent trip to Southern tip of South America.
Glacier is in El Calfate, Argentina and mountains are in Torres Del Paine, Chile. Shots on the road are from the 400 km drive from Argentina to Chile to hike. Colors are not corrected etc.. so sorry for the professionals on here. Rocks above El Calafate town  Rainbow on 4X4 rode . El Calafate  Fox waiting for handouts near camp where we had lunch. Got to about 15 feet of him/her.  Glacier from overlook before the 4 hour hike ON the glacier. Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the few still advancing glaciers in the world.  From the boat riding to the glacier  Another shot of Perito Moreno  On the road to Chile. Some interesting cloud formations. Smooth roads in Argentina until the crappy ones in Chile.
