Perito Moreno Glacier

Listed under Frozen Landscapes in Patagonia, Argentina. Rated 4th of all Frozen Landscapes in the world.

The Perito Moreno glacier face is formed from three individual glaciers. It’s five kilometres wide and most interestingly it loses about 2 metres off it’s length a day, which cracks off in vast 60 metre high icebergs into the lake at it’s base. The face itself is full of cracks and crevasses.

You can walk on this glacier and on the rock faces opposite where the view is indescribable. There are some safety balconies where you can wait and watch and be astounded by the incredible sight and loud sounds of the pillars of ice shearing off with a groan and a crack and hitting the lake.
