Pio XI Glacier

Hollinsclough - Is the World Round?

Tue 5 Jan 2010 20:44

Glacier Pio XI 49.13.00S 74.00.50W

Jan 05 Took a day around the enourmous glacier Pio X1. True magic of nature, blue ice, white water and mugs of steamy tea in hand. The Seno Eyre depths moved from 800m to 50, must be as mountanous below as the view above. Snow capped panarama, Mount Fitzroy and Mount Piramide making 3000m

Returned to easy anchorage for evening, flat as a floor board. Hardly a few miles from the glacier in a nook of lush green trees, trips ashore to roast marsh mellows at the camp fire.

Many dolphins, unsure what they get upto, water cream like milk, very poor visability for them and no salt, must check the text books?

Weather still warm for glacier country.
