Holes in the Glacier

Posted by Graham (Ajax, Canada) on 4 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

There are several glaciers on Aconcagua. Sometimes you don't even realize that you are standing on one. The Relenchos Glacier is covered in loose rock (moraine), but there are a few places where the ice (and water pools) can be seen. This opening is between Plaza Argentina Base Camp and Camp 1.
