While some prefer to enjoy their vacations burning their skin under the sun while taking a daiquiri on an exotic beach, others like to bet on the cold and the secrets that keep the climate that makes us tremble the most. If the idea is to forget the traditional and put aside excursions to snowfall or skiing in the snow, the best option is to take an unforgettable walk through the world’s biggest glaciers on board on a cruise. These imposing ice blocks that will be more difficult to appreciate because of global warming, impress who sees them and leaves an indelible memory in their memory. Get off well and accompany the trip.
After making the decision to take trip on a cruise for glaciers, it will be necessary to decide why hemisphere start. Both ends of the planet offer similar landscapes, taking their eyes between the white of the glaciers, the blue of the waters and the green of some fields that make up a beautiful contrast.
If the choice was the south, then the destination will be “ Tierra del Fuego “, paradoxical name for such a icy space. The cruise company Australis is in charge of our trip through glaciers in this region of the planet. Everything begins in Punta Arenas , Chile . From here the farewell to the port is given while waiting for us a welcome cocktail in which the full crew is presented and indications are given in case of emergencies.
The first point of landing is the bahía Parry . Some of the first expeditionaries that arrived in this area as Magallanes and Drake gave him the name of desolate bay or the island of desolation .
The second landing is in Bay Ainsworth , where he will have the possibility of making a relaxing walk through the last mountain line of the continent. The adventure continues for the well -known Magallanes Beagle channel , the Cockburn channel and more.

Already on the second day, you can see the serrano glacier and can be landed in the glacier d’Agostini . The third day is visited by the Yendegaia Bay and its beautiful forests, to finally undertake towards Ushuaia in Argentina , the southernmost city in the world . During the entire route, in addition to glaciers, you can see a large number of animals such as sea lions, penguins and cormorants.
If he was fascinated with his visit to the south of the world, he smiled once again and visit the Norwegian fjords . Many of them reach up to 1400 meters above sea level and extend 500 meters more below it. In addition, it is a show to see fall between the beautiful waterfalls.
The most visited fjords by tourists are those of Flam , alesund and oslo . Such is its beauty, that UNESCO declared in 2005 a World Heritage Site to the Geirangerfjord and naeroyfjordfueron . Many of the areas pierced when visiting the fjords are virgin areas that are preserved in their natural state even since the time when the Vikings were traveling.
