Behind the Lens: The Mighty Perito Moreno Glacier

Mobile Uploads:

The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the largest and most accessible glaciers in Patagonia. Just 80k outside of El Calafate, Argentina, most people experience the glacier via a simple day bus trip by viewing the glacier from a series of balconies. As touristy as it gets durring the day, it is certainly a site to see.

Enjoy these Behind The Scenes looks at what it was like as I was capturing this massive glacier.
