At the end of the world

Internet is very hard to come by and very slow when i do have it... so updates will be far and few until about Dec 11.
So Far:
Ushuaia - Amazing. We went to Tierra Del Fuego and went to the End of the World or the most southern part. The snow capped mountains are amazing. We also went to the light house at the southern most tip of the world.
El Calafate - Today we saw our first glacier... Perrito Moreno (named after the man who found it). It is incredible we watched huge chuncks of ice fall from the glacier. it is one of the few only glaciers that is expanding as well as contracting so it is equal. All others are getting smaller and smaller. Tomorrow we see the Upsala glacier. Then rent a car and drive to the trekking capital of Aregntina... El Chalten. There we will do hiking.
Then in the morning (6:30) we leave for Torres Del Paine. These are all very remote areas and have no internet so don't get nervious if you do not hear from me.
