Global Warming

Global Warming
This was an amazing sight... an ice tongue from the winter still lingering in the summer, almost melted. Had to be very careful to get in, it was constantly dripping and seemed it would collapse anytime (like the hole that can be seen further away in the picture). This was in Cerro Lopez, near Bariloche, Argentina. At about 1600 meters over sea level.

Esto fue algo muy lindo de ver... una especie de lengua de hielo que todavia sobrevivia en el verano, aunque derritiendose a paso rapido. Habia que andarse con cuidado ya que parecia no le faltaba mucho para colapsar, como de hecho ya habia ocurrido con un parte (el agujero que se ve mas atras). Esto fue en el Cerro Lopez, cerca de Bariloche, Argentina, a unos 1600 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
