The Patagonian Glacial Cap, third largest mass of ice outside Antarctica and Greenland. Here is the a spectacular view from the famous Parque Nacional de los Glaciares, located in the South Patagonian Glacial Cap, in Argentina, home to the most incomprehensible and amazing scenery human mind can imagine: From black and misty jagged mountains a country of ice is sliding like a humongous python whose head peels off towers of ice the size of cathdrals crushing every hour into a turcoise blue lakes, creting a frightening show of mythical proportions, in this casethey melt inside the majestic Lago Argentino.
The photo was taken in one of the few moments of candid light as we were followed by a thick fog and blank light for all two days we spend here. Few shots came clear and this is one of them. Enjoy!

Peisaj deosebit (cu albastru de patagonia) si cu multe info-uri utile. (Da' de ce l-ai pus la categoria Animale?)

;)

Salutari, Petru

Beautiful shor Radu!
The ice looks amazing with it's great shapes and colours and the green tree is FG makes a superb complement to the exceptional whole.

I like it very much :)

I like the green of the tree against the blue of the glacier. Good composition and well done.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

This kind of scenery is so awesome, Radu. All the more so when you think that very few people on this earth have actually laid eyes on them for real. Thanks for bringing these incredible views to us. : )
