Workers carry materials to build a new boardwalk for tourists in front of Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier near the city of El Calafate, in the Patagonian province of Santa Cruz October 16, 2009. A federal judge has opened an investigation into the finances of President Cristina Fernandez and her husband, former President Nestor Kirchner, who have reported hefty financial gains from land sales and a five-star hotel they own in El Calafate. A tourist magnet because of its proximity to the impressive Perito Moreno glacier, El Calafate grew rapidly as boutique hotels and gourmet restaurants sprang up. The Kirchners got in on the boom, opening a luxurious hotel on a property next to their weekend home in 2007. Picture taken on October 16, 2009.
