Today we hiked for five hours in torrential rain and wind through the mountains and then boarded a boat to travel out to view Grey Glacier. Listen to Aaron describe the incredible events of the day, and then read why some researchers call Patagonia a “poster child” for rapidly changing glacier systems, and why studying glaciers here could be key to learning how glacier melt cycles work and how they may be impacted by climate change.
