The Perito Moreno glacier is a thick mass of ice located in the Department Lago Argentino of the province of Santa Cruz, in the southwest of Argentina, in the Patagonia region.
This glacier originates from the Southern Patagonian Icefield. In its descent, it reaches the southern branch of Lake Argentino, with a front of 5 km in length, outcropping over the water with a height of about 60 m.
Thanks to its steady advance, dam the waters of the Rico arm of the lake, which creates a gap with the rest of the lake up to 30 m.
Under pressure of this liquid mass leaks occur in the ice that create a tunnel with a vault of more than 50 m which eventually collapses in an unusual natural spectacle, easily presenciable by tourists, making it the most attractive Los Glaciares National Park, which integrates.
Its name honors Francisco Moreno, director of the Museum of Scientific Society Argentina and active explorer of the southern part of that country.
