Pic from MODIS of Patagonian winter

This is cool. Taken a few days ago, with the same sensor that takes pictures of lake Superior every day. Who is up for a road trip?

I'd love to go down that way to do some skiing in Chile!

If you have Netflix, check out the movie/documentary "180 South". It is really cool, about a guy that takes a year off and sails down there and hikes around Patagonia with the founders of the national park. Who just happen to also be the founders of North Face and Patagonia clothing lines. It is a lot of history of how the park was created, very interesting.
