Grey Glacier, Patagonia
The Grey Glacier (Glaciar Grey, en español), fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, flows southward into a lake by the same name: Lago Grey. The glacier occupies 100 square miles and runs 17 miles long. We visited the Grey Glacier as the first of our three excursions from EcoCamp, our retreat in Torres del Paine National Park.

EcoCamp, Patagonia
For the first time since we'd been traveling together, we'd had a trip that wasn't fully about the beautiful places we'd seen, although Patagonia has more to offer than the whole world combined. But it really was about the community we had formed there during those five days--the friendships, the language barriers, the communal meals, the hard treks up difficult mountains, the late-night stories shared as secrets, the bonds. It was the most special place and an even more special moment for us. Our hearts are sealed there, forever.
