Grey Glacier | Chile Photo Spot

Grey Glacier is one of Torres del Paine’s most spectacular glaciers as it tumbles into the serene Lago Grey. It is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, and at its peak is 30 metres high, and around six kilometres wide. Torres del Paine has two classic multi-day hikes, the Full Circuit and the W Trek, both of which have awe-inspiring views of the lake and the glacier. Arguably the best view comes from during the Full Circuit hike, where trekkers can view the glacier from above as they cross the famous John Garner Pass. The W Trek’s western leg takes you along its eastern shore of Lago Grey all the way up to the glacier itself. You can also hike up around the lake on a day hike, returning to a comfortable base in the evening. (Torres del Paine National Park, Chile)
