Day 1. We are still warm here.
Hiking to our first campsite, next to Glacier Grey. Kara still has energy to lift her arms.
View of Glacier Grey, halfway along the path on the first afternoon.
View from our campsite. Yes, those are icebergs.
Day 2. Kara isn't stopping to pose for photos now. She just keeps on walking.
Amazing* valley we camped at the bottom of.* this means gales, snow, but pretty.
Day 3.
Check out the view!
Cos a blizzard closed in while we were at the very top so we saw nothing on the way down...we had to follow someone else's footprints back to camp...
Campamento Italiano. This photo doesn't convery the wind or cold. Only source of water - glacial stream. Chilly. Only "toilet" - 50 metres away. In a hut. Fortunately the little orange tent you see is a work of engineering genius and kept us not as cold.
Day 4. The lake! The sun! No snow!
Day 5. We made it to the Torres on a perfect day!! This does not show the pain and steepness we went up to get here. And yes, Kara sobbed like a girl when we reached the top.
AWESOME!!! The 3 Torres.
Part of the route to get to the Torres.
Heading back to camp after seeing the Torres.
Day 6. Bonus weather, bonus cold. Should have got the evening bus back rather than camp another night "because it looks like it's warming up." Packing up a tent in a snowstorm is character building. Honest.
