The Perito Moreno glacier is one of the few in the world that is not shrinking..
Every few years it flows fast enough to reach the other side of the lake…
…where water running under it hollows out a bridge…
…which then sheds huge chunks of ice and eventually suffers total structural failure, very loudly.
Sadly we were there one day early.
See the panorama, watch the video.
