Fomos de barco. Tinha tanto vento, e o barco ia muito, mas muito rápido. Quase viramos. As pancadas nas ondulações da lagoa eram muito fortes. Mas enfim, valeu muito a pena. O trekking é muito bonito. Passamos por fendas e no final tomamos uma garrafa de Baileys cedida pela guia e gelada no próprio glaciar.
