What I did today (10th of December) 

A strange Thursday was a moment which a Field Trip began, which it consisted about to apply what we learnt on glaciology with the class about this subject. The destination was the Juncal Norte glacier located at the Andean side of the Valparaiso region, close to the border with Argentina. In spite of it’s an out-of-the-way place, it’s much better because I once else it’s possible to have a contact with nature.

First, when we were travelling by bus I started to see the imposing, outstanding and giant mountains of the Andes very close to us, which they make me thing that I’m smaller than an ant beside of those natural walls. Then, after of getting off the bus we started to walk with our outdoor equipment many kilometres to the place where we were going to camp. The walking was a little exhausting because the heat of the sunny day was intense and some ravines have got steep slopes that I always held on to my trekking stick and some rocks for not falling down. However, all the effort done during the walking was worth it because the landscape is dreamy (with snow on huge mountains and a fossil of a rock glacier in one of their mountainsides), besides of we could see foxes, guanacos, hares. At night was even more magical because it’s the starriest sky I've seen in this year, with some shooting stars that appear little by little.
