Stop staring at this ice from a crowded ferry deck; you get zero sense of scale from that distance. Drop the cash on the $345 guided ice hike for the early morning slot to dodge the intense Patagonian winds that often ground boats later in the day. Walking directly on jagged, blue crevasses hits different than any photo. If that price tag is too steep, kayak tours get you close enough to touch the wall. Gear up properly.
