My fantastic field trip to the north glacier Juncal!



This trip will take place in the second year of college. Together with my colleagues wanted to take the elective this semester: introduction to glaciology, knowing that we would have a spectacular terrain, but difficult.

Upon entering the course, Professor Francisco Ferrando, told us we had to prepare much, but we thought it was for both jejej.

When we go to the glacier mountain equipment, large backpacks and much food for starving lol was not our main concern!

good when we arrived and saw the spectacular scenery does not worry us more, a walk of 5 or 6 miles until you reach a clearing, leaving us ready to go further and go up the glacier!

The first day we arrived at the esplanade and settled with a small camp and began to see the beautiful landscape around us we saw many birds and most impressive a lot of Condors. 

The next day we got up early, and we ascended the glacier and climb the glacier tongue. 
at the time of achieving the goal we are happy too and we played to throw snow, in addition to slide down the place, it was fun.

This is my favorite trip so beautiful place and how much I could learn along with my classmates and Professor Francisco Ferrando! 

and I would love to repeat! 

See ya, mates
