A glacier is a big, enormous, massive sheet of really, really thick ice! This glacier is 3km wide.
A glacier is made by rain being pushed by really strong winds from the ocean to the mountains. Then the rain freezes and falls into the valley in a line and creates a glacier.
We rented a car and drove down to El Chalten. On the drive our car almost got blown off the road!!
When we got there we went for a 3 hour hike up to a lagoon. When we got there we saw a view of the mountain called Fitz Roy. It was very beautiful. Daddy and I saw a woodpecker on a tree! This was special because they are very hard to spot. It had a scarlet red head and dark blue body.
The next day we went for a walk to a waterfall. In the afternoon we walked up the worlds most windy mountain!! I nearly got blown over. It was scary.
