After surrounding Cape Horn and hiking up Wulaia Bay to soak up it’s beautiful and unspoiled landscape, we embarked our expedition cruise towards the Agostini Sound, in the heart of the Cordillera Darwin, in Tierra del Fuego. The region is famous for its numerous glaciers that, in some cases, reach all the way down to the sea.
In the afternoon, we got on our zodiacs to get a closer look to one of the most fascinating glaciers, the Aguila Glacier.
The Aguila Glacier is situated at the end of a tranquil lagoon and surrounded by mountains. The easy walk from the beach where we disembarked to the glacier itself took less than 15 minutes, and once I stood in front of it, I couldn’t help but taking more than 70 shots of it.
I was fascinated by the bright blue cracks, the way sun light illuminated the whites, the water reflections of the lagoon… there’s no doubt about it – Glaciar Aguila is ideal for any landscape photography enthusiast like me.
Wonderful shots!! Isn’t nature just the best artist? Glaciers are so beautiful, I was once hiking right beside the biggest in Europe in Switzerland and I was mesmerized by the shades of blue! Breathtaking!
This looks absolutely amazing! I would probably have never stopped shooting pictures had it been me. I’ve heard that they are noisy and that you can hear the expansion and contraction of the ice. Is that true?
Between your trip and my trip, I think we are showing that one can spend many months exploring Patagonia. Beautiful!
haha, I agree! I do get quite jealous (in a good way) from your hikes through the argentinean side though – must def do it next time!
The pictures are awesome,it brings back the wonderful but really adventurous moment walking on Rolwaling glacier in Nepal during my solo epic journey for 128 days across 2000km long Great Himalaya Trail.
I can imagine that was a terrific journey..
Beautiful pics!
Thank you Paula!
These photos belong in a magazine!!!
Thanks… I wish!
wow- those are amazing. I’ve never seen a glacier but they look incredible!
I strongly recommend a visit!
