Stopping for Lunch at the Emerald Lake in the Andes We started the hike before the sun came up.  It was really cold, so I was dressed in layers.  People always give you very silly advice.  Actually, whenever anyone tells me to "dress in layers", I always find it very condescending!  Why is that?  I don't know why that bothers me.  I mean, OF COURSE dress in layers.  Oh, you mean, if I get too hot, I can just take off a layer?  Oh, brilliant!  Why didn't I think of that?  Well...  This is a concept everyone is already familiar with, so whenever anyone tells you to "dress in layers", try not to let it annoy you as much as it does me.Anyway, after removing many layers, since I was burning hot after the first five minutes from carrying 50 lbs of camera equipment over the Andes, we stopped at this mountain lake to relax and have a quick lunch.  It was a good chance to drop off the bag, put together my camera and tripod, then break it all down again, repack, and get back on the hike.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Massive Glacier at Dusk This is the Perito Moreno Glacier that empties into Lago Argentina. It was simply awesome to be there, as you can plainly see.I was there with a bunch of Russians who had brought an insane amount of cognac. Between shots, they would all drink cognac, yell, and try to bring down the next ice wall. We were the only ones there, and we stayed until the last moments of dark to eek out every last bit of light from the sky.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
