Polar Ice

The Perito Moreno Glacier is famous for insane glacier wall collapses during the summer when large icebergs — often up to 250 feet in height — are breaking off the glacier and collapsing into water of the Lago Argentino. The ice field of the Glacier Perito Moreno is the world’s third largest reserve of fresh water. In the right time of the year big blocks of ice break off the glacier and drop into the water. The waves created by such glacier calving events often splash dozens of meters through the air. The glacier is one of Argentina’s most beautiful natural wonders. The glacier itself is about 5km (3.1mi) wide and has an average height of 74m (240 ft) above the surface of the water.
