Martial Glacier

The Martial Glacier sits above Ushuaia. We took a chairlift to the base of it and then walked for a while. It was hard to define where it was as it was covered in snow and you could not see the base. The glacier is, according to experts, expected to disappear in the next fifty years, due to global warming. It is very humbling to stand on a glacier, which you know may be gone, if we continue to damage our Earth.






An Ecuardorian guy and his family, who had never seen snow before. He was cycling down the glacier! They were a nice family, as they gave me and Stephen a lift back to Ushuaia, which saved a long walk!
