This relatively easy to reach glacier is worth a visit! If you can at least, on our second visit it was closed due its unpredictability. The glacier ice has a very nice aqua-ish color.
The walk from the car to the lagoon itself is super easy but to get a better view you'll need to climb over some rocks a little which can be tricky.
It's a surprisingly peaceful place where at times you'll hear a big splash of water when a piece of ice breaks off.
