I never imagined it could be fascinating to watch a gletscher for hours. I was convinced by Perito Moreno.
As it is, the glacier is very impressive to visit anytime. When standing off the opposite side of the lake, one can spend hours watching and listening to the sounds coming from inside this always moving monstrous ice mass, to gigantic blocks of ice being sliced off the face of the glacier and falling into the turquoise water of the lake. The glacier is around 60 metres, or equal to a 15-floor building, high, and sometimes blocks as high as that fall into the water, causing enormous waves and floating icebergs. It is perhaps even more impressive to visit the site by boat, because then the height of the ice wall can be even better appreciated.
