The team this morning making their way to Refugio Grey.
Chris Meder called in from Refugio Grey this afternoon to report an absolutely perfect day today. They trekked from Paine Grande to Refugio Grey enjoying big views of Lago Grey and the icebergs from Grey Glacier floating therein. After lunch and getting settled in they took advantage of the nice afternoon weather and went kayaking. Chris reports that an iceberg recently calved off the main glacier and is currently adrift right off shore. “It’s a couple hundred feed above water and who knows how deep it goes! Needless to say we gave it a wide berth on our kayak tour,” Chris added. A late dinner followed. And if that wasn’t enough they wrapped up the day with a beaut of a sunset down at the lookout point.
There’s still plenty to do tomorrow!

P.S. Tomorrow we’re going to try to squeeze a photo of the iceberg out of the limited service that exists near the hut.
