For anyone heading into anything higher that 3000 metres, don´t turn you´re Ipod on until you´re back below 3000 metres. We´ve only heard of one story where someone´s Ipod died as soon as it was turned on in La Paz (3,600 metres) but if you value you´re tunes it´s probably not worth the risk.
From the Ipod spec page:
“Maximum operating altitude: 3,000 metres (10,000 feet)”

It must be cold if he’s gotta grow a beard to keep his neck warm.

The name of the glaciar is “Perito Moreno”, not “Perito Merino”

“Ipod died as soon as it was turned on in La Paz (3,600 metres) ”
that is b*llsh*t, I own Ipods for 3 years (in La Paz) and never had any trouble, right now I have an Ipod Classic 160Gb and works awesome !.
