Next to El Calafate this glacier impresses when under grolling noice parts of the ice brake off and drop into the water. This, as the glacier is constantly pressing forward.

In the northern part of the national park, mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre hide themselves in clouds for most time of the year. Although we were encountering quite cold, rainy and windy weather, we were lucky to see Cerro Torre with its shape being mirrored in a lake.

Travelling south towards Chile, we spent three nights in the Torres del Paine National Park over Christmas. This to hike most parts of the 'W' - a multi-day trail in almost w-shape on the map. This to see Grey Glacier and to climb to the Mirador of the Torres del Paine.

At the 'End of the World', we stayed at the southermost city of the world in Ushuaia. We did day trips (including bus, canoe, boat, hiking) into the national park, a penguin island and to a private nature reserve on Goat Island.
 

For New Year, we were flying north into warmer climate to visit the capital of Tango, Buenos Aires. We spent four days touring the different quarters and districts of the city and to enjoy tango shows both professionally performed and on the streets.
 

A 12 hour bus ride north of Buenos Aires we visited the remains of former Jesuit missions (San Ignacio, Santa Ana, Trinidad & Jesús) around the city of Posadas and across the boarder to Paraguay.
 

We finally enjoyed two hot and humid days at Puerto Iguazu, one visiting the Brazilian, one the Argentinian side of the beautiful and famous waterfalls of Iguazu.
