Perito Moreno Glacier

The following are several pictures of the Perito Moreno Glacier (near El Calafate, in the Glacier National Park). Ice falls from this glacier every 10 - 15 minutes, making thunderous sounds that fill the valley. The glacial replenishment rate has been proven to be equal to that of it's loss.

The width is 4,500 meters (14,800 feet); height is 60 meters above the water level and another 130 meters (426 feet) below the water level; length is about 37km(22 miles). The glacier is large enough to contain all of Buenos Aires.
