I´ve never been any further south than Río Negro Province (which is more like Northern California), but Santa Cruz certainly has the most by way of desolate beauty in Argentina. You have a very good eye as always, Judi.

It´s probably best known for the Perito Moreno Glacier, which I believe is the only major glacier in the Americas that´s still advancing rather than receding due to climate change. Enjoy!
