Astronaut Leroy Chiao's Space Blog-Patagonian Glaciers
Astronaut Leroy Chiao's Space Blog- postcard of the Patagonian Glaciers
This is one of my favorite shots. We generally think of South America as very warm, but in fact, the southern area is very close to the Antarctic continent. Icebergs can frequently be observed in the area and there many glaciers can be seen. This photo shows glacial feeds flowing into a lake in southern Chile. The conditions were exceptionally clear, allowing good definition of the mountain and glacier features.
