The glacier
From a distance The Perito Moreno Glacier's size is really impressive - I think the biggest of all the glaciers I have seen.
What's even more impressive is the fact that this glacier advances each day by entire 2 meters!
Because of it's size, the advance is not equal in all its sections.
This causes major parts of the ice to detach from it in amazing crashes, which are supposed to happen every day.
There are several balconies in the National Park at different heights, from which you can observe the glacier.
I spent 5 hours there, but by Murphy's law, witnessed only small crashes.
What's more depressive is that friends of mine that arrived to the glacier a few hours before me, saw 2 major crushes.
