Today we visit in the Glaciers National Park in the state of Santa Cruz Argentina. The most prominent glacier of the 16,000 glaciers in Argentina is Perito Moreno Glacier.

It is the most accessible and most unique, as it flows across a lake and into a landmass at the rate of 2 meters / day and it is the only glacier in the world known to do this. Despite calving and washing away, it periodically piles up, forming a dam on part of the Lake to the right on this aerial photo in the poster. When the water is at least 8 meters higher on that side of the lake, the weight of the water forms a small stream at the base of this glacier dam, which widens into a Tunnel, then a bridge, until it finally collapses. This rupture happens 2,3,8, years apart, no one knows and it is the only glacier in the world known to do this

We were able to hear many cracks and see a few calvings in the very active center part of the glacier

It was a very unique experience!
