Perito Moreno Glacier | Most Wonderful Nature

Share Top Five December 22, 2018

This 30-kilometer glacier in Patagonia’s Los Glaciares National Park (not to be confused with the Perito Moreno National Park) grows and contracts, often forming a natural ice dam on the “elbow” of Lago Argentino. The force of the trapped water causes a spectacular rupture every four to five years. Even when the ice isn’t exploding, the sight of the glacier’s blue peaks is a lifetime attraction. Fly from Buenos Aires to El Calafate in Patagonia. The alternative is a very long bus journey,More info:cnn

When people say that something moves a ‘glacial speed’, I’ve never really known what to imagine. Obviously it means something is moving slowly, but how slowly?

The expression conjures up images of cold and unrelenting progress that, although gradual, is inevitable and unstoppable.

When people talk about this kind of speed, it’s normally in the negative – a criticism of something that is taking too long or is painfully slow. I can now tell you from firsthand experience that there is nothing painful about a glacier.

It is one of the most beautiful sights you could see in Patagonia.
