El Campo de Hielo Norte.

Aerodromo Leones.













The flight was quite nice at first.













We didn't do very well at noting where we were flying exactly. Most of our efforts went into not throwing up.

We think this is the end of Lago Leones and the start of the glacier of the same name.








The debris on the top of the glacier consists of all shapes and sizes.

Rocks fallen from the mountains above some as large as cars, some as large as houses. (so we were told).








A number of mountain glaciers forming a much larger valley glacier.












The joining of two glaciers above Lago Leones.
