Glaciar Perito Moreno

---

We really wanted to see Perito Moreno whilst in South America, one of the few glaciars in the world that is still moving. Therefore when we turned up in the little town of El Calafate and took a local bus to the National Park, after our long journey south we were quite overawed. It´s incredible, 60 metres tall with a 5 km frontage. One long river of ice, which left Jonty speechless, possibly a rarer occurance than the glaciar´s actual spectacular rupture which last occured in March 2004!!!

We stared for ages
but it never looked like collapsing
