Relaxed at rides end
An hours bus ride through the national park. As we get closer the vegetation changes to fairly densely treed conifers. The first we have seen for the past 9 Days.
Up a rise on the winding road and there it is a massive river of ice stretching as far as the eye can see and some 3k wide at the face where it rises some 150m from the lake surface. Constant thunder claps as ice peels off and falls into the water.
It is stunning and not surprisingly world heritage listed.
The top is rugged with icy peaks and deep deep blue streaks in the crevasses. Filaments of earthy material streak the face. We take the boat to get closer. Worthwhile. A massive thunder clap and a sheet of ice falls into the lake. Lots of photos. The weather is cloudy but good visibility.
Lback to shore and take to the paths to view where it comes to shore on the headlands point of the park. The glacier stretches in both directions with a lake at each face. Dark water rushes through an ice bridge from on lake to the other.
it was worth while cycling 3165k to see the wonder.
Back and out for a final dinner with Alfonse monique Anna Hank Annik and didier. To bed. Summary of the ride to follow.
