8.Perito Moreno

Argentina

World Heritage of Unesco, the Perito Moreno Glacier is the most spectacular Andean glaciers and more accessible, only 50 km from El Calafate.

It is located in Glacier National Park, near the Lago Argentino sublime. Real monster 15 km deep and 5 km wide, it rises to 60 m above the lake level. Its area is the equivalent of a city like Buenos Aires!

This is one of the liveliest glaciers in the world, he won nearly 3 m per day. Many sharp peaks and broken testify to the life of the glacier. The water that flows continuously under ice contributes to its displacement.

The smallest block that is detached collapses with a crash, the sound reverberates against the mountains, echoing endlessly. The fallen ice shape of small icebergs from drifting. One could spend hours observing and tracking its movements without tiring, while listening to its growls and squeaks.
