Perito Moreno Glacier. El Calafate, Argentina
Perito Moreno Glacier was the most beautiful natural site I ever visited. It is located within The Glaciers National Park and was declared "World Natural Patrimony of the Humanity". Its front covers 5 kilómetres and it has almost 80 metres of hight above sea level. Ice blocks of different sizes are constantly coming off the glacier and falling into the waters of the Argentine lake causing astounding sounds and impressive waves over the surface, turning this moment into an unforgettable spectacle. This glacier is one of the few ones in the world that is in constant development. Several lacustrine and terrestrial visits can be done. This photo was taken from the Lago Argentina, as far as I could reach from the ice. In the spot, the dimension is impressive and difficult to describe. Within the park, located at 80 km. from the locality of El Calafate, the tourist can visit other nearby glaciers and take part in varied activities, like walk on its surface being in close contact with the glacier ice, meeting its inner peaks and ponds.
