Perito Moreno Glacier

The Perito Moreno Glacier is classed as one of the ‘Must Sees’ of a trip to Patagonia, and with good cause.  Its incredible! Firstly the size, the photo below show the width of the section that is view-able from the platform. incredibility this is 5kms wide!! More amazingly, it is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field  which has an area of 12,363 km2 . (The section in red is the section that is 5kms wide!!)

Location

Located very close to Chile in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field

Accessing the glacier is simple. It is located 78km east of the town ‘El Calafate’. There is a series of raised platforms for accessing several viewpoints.

If you’re lucky you can even experience a section of ice break away and lunge into the waiting lake. The ice moves 2m per day so hang around and get the camera ready 🙂

Some engineering dudes looking for gas caused the collapse.... and fearing the gas would be damaging, they decided to burn it away. Apparently this should have stopped after 48 hours 😁 Now 40+ yrs on it still burns and this place now has the name 'Gates of hell'
