October 4, 2025. I’m Craig Feigin. A glacier day in Los Glaciares National Park, in Argentine Patagonia. Helmets on, crampons on, and a slow walk across the ice with my wife and friends.
Scale
Up close, a glacier is hard to take in. The wall of ice runs farther than you can see, and the blue in the cracks looks almost unreal. Standing in front of it puts most of what feels urgent back in proportion.
One step at a time
On the ice, you do not rush. You follow the guide, you place each step, and you keep your attention where it belongs. It is a good reminder that steady, careful progress is how anything worth doing gets done.
Built slowly
A glacier is the result of a very long time and a lot of small layers. That is the kind of thing I respect most, in nature and in work: long-term projects built one season at a time.
Grateful for the day, and for the people I shared it with.
