the National Park I Ghiacciai si trova il ghiacciaio Perito Moreno, una meravigliosa lingua o massa di ghiaccio di 5000 metri di fronte e 60 m di altezza sopra il livello del lago Argentino.

È il piú famoso dei 356 ghiacciai che integrano il parco. A differenza d´altri ghiacciai, dove soltanto si producono distaccamenti, il Perito Moreno offre un fenomeno naturale unico: la rottura d´immensi blocchi di ghiaccio. Lo spettacolo è impressionante. Una massa colossale di ghiaccio bianco azzurro emerge dalle gelide acque.

I crolli delle sue pareti si producono costantemente, causando un forte strepito, dopo il quale la calma e il silenzio tornano a irrompere in questo paradiso gelato. Di fronte alla Penisola di Magellano, la parete di ghiaccio glacier advances until mid-size Lake Argentino, blocking the channel of the plates and gives rise to a natural dam.

The waters of the Rico arm go up in level and pressure and begin to erode the ice. The wall of glacciaio melts in its weaker fragments through which filters the water to the ground with a mighty roar.

Parque Nacional Los Glaciares

Glaciares National Park was created in 1937, covering an approximate area of \u200b\u200b600,000 hectares and has 356 glaciers. In 1981 he was declared a Natural Heritage UNESCO, with the aim to preserve the testimony of the Quaternary period in which these great masses of white ice dominated the geography of the planet.

The most important are the Perito Moreno glacier, Marconi, Viedma, Moyano, Upsala, Agassiz, Bolado, Onelli, Peineta, Spegazzini, Mayo, Ameghino, Moreno and Frias, all appertenenti the Atlantic basin.

El Calafate

This country, located in the Bay of Round Lake Argentino, takes its name from a small shrub typical of Patagonia and is the gateway the majestic world of glaciers.

is the capital city of Los Glaciares National Park, which was founded in 1927 and has experienced amazing growth in recent years through tourism.

The Calafate is an oasis of poplars, willows and pines at the edge of the Patagonian steppe. The climate is dry with an average maximum temperature of 19 º C in summer and an average minimum in winter of -2 º C. The length of day varies depending on the time of the year, as summer begins and clears at 5.30 to 23.00 just dusk. In winter, the day is shorter, with only 8 hours of light.

is located in the heart of the fair brings together artisans who craft stands Argentine and Latin American countries. It was inaugurated in October 2000 and was made entirely of wood and stone in the area.

Lago Argentino

With its shining greenish white water covering 1,600 km.2, a longitude of 60 km and a length of 20 km is of greater depth Argentina and the third in South America. The greenish white color of its water content is due to the fine powder, the result of glacial abrasion against their rocky beds, called milk glaciario.

One of its biggest attractions is the channel of ice sheets, di fronte al ghiacciaio Perito Moreno, pieno di blocchi di ghiacci galleggianti. Ha due divisioni: Braccio Nord e Sud. Si naviga da Porto Bandera uscendo all´incontro degli immensi ghiacciai Upsala e Spegazzini, scansando blocchi di ghiaccio galleggianti e fermandosi a "Baia Onelli".

Lo spettacolo è di bellezza indescrivibile. Come la maggior parte dei ghiacciai del mondo, le masse di ghiaccio che cadono sopra il Lago Argentino si trovano in retrocesso. Questo si constata dalla quantità ogni volta maggiore di blocchi galleggianti che si staccano dai fronti dei ghiacciai.
