Admittedly, my Calafate excursion ended better than it started, as much of my third highlight revolved around Glacier Perito Moreno. As the last excursion during my time in Calafate, my group and I trekked on Glacier Perito Moreno—one of the most intriguing experiences ever in life! Explore the mind-boggling photos below and tips on internalizing your experiences!
After perusing the outskirts of Perito Moreno Glacier, my group and I had the opportunity to actually trek on the glacier, with the assistance of Glacier spikes that pierced the ice to provide stability. Additionally, gloves were mandatory, but it was not as cold as you would expect it to be when trekking a glacier. In this very moment, I realized that I was living an experience that could be referenced as “once in a lifetime.” I had the honor and opportunity to live an experience that very few get to live!
Considerations for Internalizing Your Experiences:
The Value of Your Experiences: When you take time to connect with experiences that others may not connect with, you have the opportunity to see how valuable YOU are—not as a means of separation from the inexperienced, but as a means of being a vessel to inspire! We are given a period to touch lives and touch those we come into contract with!
Earth, the Universal Gift: Earth is a magnificent place that God gave every human to partake in—Earth is the universal gift, the universal blessing. Think about it! EVERY HUMAN THAT HAS EVER LIVED HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ONE AND ONLY EARTH! From conversations with park rangers, glacier tour guides, and locals, I began to understand that we have a responsibility to respectfully interact with nature.
Responsibility to Nature: Although each place has its own resources and own terrain to define and characterize its identity, this excursion opened my eyes to the responsibility that we have to honor God through honoring his creation!
