Hues of blue - by Louis

We went off in our new car, "Steve stig" to see something special:

• it has lots of colours of blue
• it moves forward 2 metres every day
• there are different types of them
• it is one of the most famous of these in the world

It is the THE PERITO MORENO GLACIER!

When we got there we had to walk along the metal path, it took ages.  When we finally got there we were a little tired from all the walking but nevertheless there as a bench there so you could sit down. But you would only tend to sit down if you were desperate because there was a lady there who was taking up all the space. 

The ice falling sounded like thunder

We heard a big bang and then a big slab of ice fell slap bang in the middle of the freezing cold icy water. Then we decided to get on a boat ride to get even closer than we were on the platform. And that felt really close. When we got to the boat, we had to wait for all the people to come off, there were quite a few, but with our boat there were only 10 or 20, it was a big catamaran so there was so much space.

We did get closer but didn’t see any chunks fall off.  So I preferred it on the other platform. 

It was an incredible adventure and one I will totally never forget.
