description: One of the earth's most spectacular regions. In the province of Santa Cruz, the most beautiful and mysterious reaches of the Patagonian Andes are where the most important continental glaciers are found. This book contains fifty photographs of the gigantic "rivers of ice", of frozen lakes and of the mountains in which they lie. An extraordinary collection of images of the sheep farms, small inland oases where Patagonian lamb is eaten, along the tourist circuits though fairy tale woods. Boat trips up to the very snouts of the glaciers, hikes on the ice, - all experienced through photographs, briefly but precisely explaining in bilingual text the local characteristics, the formations and the probable deterioration which awaits them from man's progress.
