Calving of Perito Moreno

The rain clouds disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. Within a few minutes, the rain stopped and we had a clear view of the glacier wall again. And then it happened!!
We heard a few cracks like rifle shots firing and then a section of ice wall right in front of us broke and fell into the lake. It created a lot of noise and huge waves formed where the ice went into the water. It was a mesmerizing sight. We managed to get it on video.
It was so breathtaking that we decided to stay a while more hoping to see another one. On the other hand, we were getting a bit late for our pickup. Caught between the two, we waited for a while and then we were lucky to see it one more time, albeit a smaller one this time. Given a choice, we would have stayed there the whole day. This place is truly amazing.Read more
