[Perito Moreno Glacier | Impressive ice walls and a spectacular collapse show]

[Perito Moreno Glacier | Impressive ice walls and a powerful collapse show] — An "advancing glacier" that is rare in the world. The moment the huge ice block collapses is so moving that you can't help but scream out loud — This glacier, located in Rosa Gracias National Park (about 78 km from El Calafate), has an area of ​​over 25 km² and a thickness of 170 m, and the ice wall from the lake surface reaches about 60-78 m . What's special about it is that while most glaciers are shrinking, this glacier alone continues to advance slightly, with changes of about 2 m per day being reported. ⸻ 📍【Location】 Inside Rosa Gracias National Park, about an hour's drive from El Calafate  🕰【Best time to visit】 In the afternoon, the light deepens the blue color and the sound of the ice falling can be heard, so we recommend visiting later. ⸻ ✨【Recommended points】 - The successive collapses, or "calvings," are so powerful that it feels as if the earth is breathing  - You will be overwhelmed by the beautiful blue color of the ice walls and the sense of scale that fills your field of vision. - There is an observation path, so you can easily view the glacier up close. 🎒【Tips】 - Non-slip shoes and waterproof outerwear are essential (glider mini-trekking is also popular)  - Sunburn measures (the light reflected by the ice is strong!) - Sunset is also a good time. It's also a good idea to take your time and enjoy the view around sunset. ⸻ #ElCalafate #PeritoMoreno #Glacier #ElCalafete #Argentina #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
