1) Dry Forest To The Glacier
 · Ride: Bus from Ushuaia to Martial Glacier · 5p/way, for 30min (11:00am daily) |
 |
|
2) Birdy In The Forest
· I saw condor hover the above the glacier summit (much bigger than this birdy). · It was so huge and so threatening. · The condor is just an ugly bird on land, but in the sky, it is portly and intimidating. · Whatever, it's too fast for my camera to capture. |

3) Kitty And Glacier Road
My penguin kitty, not a real penguin but sometimes it's hard to tell. The glacier was covered in snow so it was possible to climb. |
 |
|
4) My Climbing Partner
He's from Holland. |
 |
|
5) Kitty On Glacier Overlooking Ushuaia
The local guy said in Spanish that I was "very funny" because I took picture for my Penguin Kitty. |

6) Doggy Take A Rest
· A German lady behind us · She came with a dog but the dog wasn't hers. · It was funny, the dog followed her from the port all the way along the chair lift and up to the top of the glaciers. It's now taking a nap from the long trip. · I fed the dog some food but it pretty much ignored me.· We figured the dog only liked female with blue jacket |
 |
|
7) Climbers Walk To The Top
· Two guys from Ushuaia were in front of us. We stepped in their path or else it would be impossible to climb because the snow was simply too deep. We finally met them near the summit. They were very friendly. |
 |
|
8) On The Summit Of Glacier
· The summit of the glacier was freezing. The wind was strong and bullying. · The experience was both satisfying and fearful. |
 |
|
9) Glacier Climbing Dog
This dog never gave up. It followed us all the way to the summit, which was narrow and dangerous. It almost rolled down the top to the bottomless abyss. · We climbed with all our might. · The glacier-climbing dog trotted effortlessly · It was a difficult climb (for human at least), the snow was knee deep. · The dog came all the way to the top of the world just for bits of left over · Life as a dog must not be too easy. |

10) Another Glacier Over Martial
The other glacier was also covered with snow. · It wasn't fair I didn't even saw the sun and I got a sun burnt, the sun must be cheating. But again you don't need to see the truck coming in order to be run over by it. |
 |
|
11) Summit Overlook
· The summit of the glacier was freezing. The wind was strong and bullying. · The experience was both satisfying and fearful. |
 |
|
12) Easy Way Down
The two locals skkied down but I have to walk all the way down. |
 |
|
13) Going Home Now
|
 |
|
14) Look Back At The Glacier
· It wasn't fair I didn't even saw the sun and I got a sun burnt, the sun must be cheating. But again you don't need to see the truck coming in order to be run over by it. |

15) Doggy Said Goodbye To Us
The glacier dog left us alone after I gave it last bit of my food. It had absolutely no interest in male hiker. |

We returned to the town with a mini bus which showed up as we tried to walk down the slope.
I then checked the bus schedule to the surrounding areas. · lago escondido · 9:30 & 15 · aerojilla · 14-18 · estancia harberton · return 14:30-20:00 · tren del fin del mundo · 9:15-11:15 14:15 · national park · 8-12 14 16 18 20 · return 9-13 15 17 19 21 · 9 10 11 14 16:3018 · return 10 11:15 15 17:15 19
