“put things into perspective”
Perhaps the world’s most impressive glacier, Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park is a must-see phenomenon and a highlight for many on a luxury trip to Argentina. Since its UNESCO inscription 40 years ago, watching the baby blue ice break away from the glacier and plunge into the ice field below never seems to get old. Whilst most glaciers in the world retreat, Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina is one of the few that is advancing. This means as the glacier grows in size, cracks and crevasses appear at the terminus, resulting in chunks of ice breaking off and crashing into the ice field below. Covering an area of over 250 square metres, as these dense masses of ice move from the glacier, they slowly carve into Lake Argentino depositing large icebergs.
