Again in patogonia. , Lakes, cardoon flower looks like snow and a tree root.

Ah yes, it's our Spring (and today at last it felt like it) and of course in Argentina you are entering Autumn (Fall).

Horacio - out of curiosity how has your summer been concerning the weather? Has it been normal or are you seeing similar unusual patterns like us here (mild and lots of rain).

Hi Ian.
As years go by, the summers and winters are more unpredictable. Winters are very mild, overcoats are never used again...with few rains and raised temperatures. Summers, like this year, are totally unusual. January with very high temperatures and humidity, impossible to walk on the streets combined with several storms, lightning and thunder in the beaches (killing 8 people), , heavy rains and floods...February with cold weather and heavy rains and floods. Really discouraging...

Following this line of thought, I strongly recommend you to watch this link and try to see the film mentioned there: Chasing Ice.

Please look at this trailer: http://news.discovery.com/adventure/...rs-melting.htm

Chasing Ice is an available documentary film that follows National Geographic photographer James Balog, who himself was a skeptic about climate change. But in 2005, while on assignment in the Arctic, he saw for his own eyes, just how fast the glaciers of our polar regions are melting. He has since been on a mission to document the melting glaciers as evidence in the climate change debate — as well as take breathtaking photographs for the history books.

The film has an unusual and breathtaking beauty ans is a photographic challenge never seen before about glaciers in diferents parts of the world. Really tremendous. Strongly recomended. Must see it. Regards.
