Torres del Paine has a number of glaciers and Grey Glacier is one of the most popular to visit. The two of us visited the glacier on the same day but we took different routes.
Blake trekked to the glacier (12 kilometres or 7.5 miles) along with Sebastian, Mikhail and Konstantin.
Blake saw lots more after this but he doesn't have any photos as the battery in his camera died. Luckily Vanessa was headed to the same place with a fully charged camera battery!
Vanessa, Carolina and Marina took the alternate route to the glacier - a short van ride followed by a relaxing boat trip.
Blake was done for the day and took a nap but Vanessa had energy for another horseback riding trip. This ride was much harder (much better!) ride than yesterday.
Still more trekking and horseback riding to come!
