GREY GLACIER
Know Grey Glacier
With 19 kilometers of extension, Grey Glacier is a massive natural ice construction, of unique beauty. There are morrenas on its sides and multiple shades of white, which increase the beauty of the landscape. You can also find there a "nunatak" – piece of land that divides the glacier in two-, creating an island in the middle of the glacier, where people can disembark and walk for a little while.
