Garibaldi Glacier
FF – (FUN-fact) – 80% of South America’s glaciers lie in Chile’s Glacier Alley.
Not so FF – There has been an outbreak of GIS which causes intestinal problems for 24 to 48 hours. It is caused from not washing your hands after going to the bathroom. All staff members are now serving everything with gloves on and passengers are not allowed to touch any serving items. We are on sanitizing “high alert.”
