Seno Iceberg is a glacier-carved fjord that runs eastward from the main channel of Canal Messier. We’ve passed what seems like hundreds of these valleys as we’ve worked our way south, but this one is different – it still has it’s glacier at the end of the fjord.
Part of the Patagonian ice field known as Campo de Hielo, the glacier at the end of Seno Iceberg is stunning – deep blue streaks radiate from the core of the glacier, and every hour or so that we visited, huge chunks calved from the face.
These days, only a small portion of the nearly mile wide glacier face still reaches the water, due to a melting process of the last several hundred years that has accelerated because of global warming. We felt lucky to see Seno Iceberg today, while there is still some tidewater glacier left.
