The rain stopped in the morning. We had a quick walk up the hill to see the view. Then got underway and went to the head of the western arm of Seno Pia. We were pleased and a little surprised that the ice allowed us to get up to the glacier face. Here two arms of the glacier meet as they tumble into the bay. The sun came out and, at last, we found the blue ice. The pilot calls it "shrieking blue". I think this was a bit over stated but it was a lovely deep turquoise. We enjoyed an hour or two there, photographs, videos, dinghy excursions, and the now mandatory Pisco Sour, today made with grapefruit juice as the limes have all gone. The pisco has all gone too so perhaps this was the last of our trips to glaciers. Some big ice falls caused a mini tsunami in the bay so we decided to leave and motor back down the sound to this little caleta.
