Well, my new skis aren't so new anymore, so I brought them over to @sidecountry_tunes for repair. #skipatrol #coreshot #ptex #toolsnotjewels #skiing #smuggslove #sidecountrytunes #elanripstick #22designs #spreadtelemark
I had the unique experience of visiting Magellanic and Gentoo penguins at their home on Isla Martillo, the only penguin habitat in Ushuaia. The island is owned and protected by Estancia Haberton, and is closely monitored by biologists. #argentina #tierradelfuego #ushuaia #estanciahaberton #islamartillo #penguin #penguins #magellanicpenguin #gentoopenguin
I spent a day exploring the Patagonian steppe on horseback. The stronger than usual winds, which often blew cow pies past us like tumbleweeds, provided for a "real Patagonian experience"! #argentina #patagoniaargentina #elcalafate #upsalaglacier #steepe #horse #caballo #estancia #estanciacristina #tumbleweed #cowpie #windy #imissriding
I spent a peaceful night in my tent at Laguna Torre. The winds of the day had pushed chunks of glacial ice to shore, resulting in a mesmerizing chime sound as they clinked against each other. In the morning all the ice chunks were gone. Turn the sound up for the video, though to really hear it well you'll need to go there yourself. #argentina #patagoniaargentina #elchalten #lagunatorre #cerrotorre #glaciers #parquenacionallosglaciares #ice #wind #hiking #trekking #camping #windchimes #explore #bepresent
I recently spent several days trekking near El Chalten, and in the process learned how to use the time lapse feature on my phone. Cerro Solo is on the left, Fitz Roy is on the right, and the clouds are obscuring Cerro Torre. (Filmed at 16x normal speed.) #argentina #patagoniaargentina #elchalten #fitzroy #cerrotorre #lagunatorre #hiking #trekking #getoutside #timelapse
Up close and personal with Glaciar Perito Moreno. ~ I'm usually a self-guided adventurer, but participating in the Big Ice Tour was an outstanding experience. Not only did I have the opportunity to walk on the glacier for a few hours, but the guide - who has been studying the glacier for 14 years - taught me so much about the physics and features of the ice. ~ #argentina #argentinatravel #patagoniaargentina #elcalafate #glaciarperitomoreno #glaciers #parquenacionallosglaciares #losglaciaresnationalpark #freshwater #explore #southernpatagonianicefield #trekking #bigice
The 250 square km Glaciar Perito Moreno is fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. It advances 2-3 meters per day and the thundering of icefall is often heard. Its ease of accessibility is unique, making it a big tourist attraction, but the only way to actually get on the glacier is by guided tour, and the daily number of people is restricted. #argentina #argentinatravel #patagoniaargentina #elcalafate #glaciarperitomoreno #peritomorenoglacier #glaciers #parquenacionallosglaciares #losglaciaresnationalpark #freshwater #explore #southernpatagonianicefield
A 10 mile hike up Rio Azul brought me to Casa de Campo, a refugio in the mountains near El Bolson. I experienced the luxury of staying here while exploring the surrounding mountains and dreaming of future trips. #argentina #argentinatravel #patagoniaargentina #elbolson #refugio #hiking #mountaineering #rioazul #cajondelazul #glamping
