We spent a few hours here, taking a boat ride that got us up close to the glacier and then traveling along a walkway where we could watch the glacier. I'm sure that watching a glacier sounds about as interesting as watching paint dry, but this glacier regularly breaks up - often spectacularly.
Here's a picture of the boat and glacier together, for scale:
The video below is cobbled together from Jennifer's shots of the best break-up we saw while we were there:
Afterwards we went back to El Calafate for a nice Italian lunch and a huge steak dinner. The restaurant had calafate ice cream for dessert, but since I'm not sure what caused "the tent incident" I elected to have the normal ice cream.
