Glaciar Perrito Moreno



Thursday 15 November 2007

I know, judging from my pictures you probably think that Ryan has a camera glued to his face 24/7. That's only mostly true - he puts it down to sleep.

We visited the most famous glacier in Argentina today, Perrito Moreno. It really was quite impressive - especially due to the fact that it is one of only two glaciers in the whole world not receding. It advances about 2 meters a day, although about the same amount of ice falls off every day, so it stays in more or less the same place. We saw some amazing pieces of ice fall off the front, which split off with cracks like gunshots and hit the water with a rumble like thunder.
