What creators show here
A massive wall of intense blue ice over 200 feet high looms above the grey-green waters of Lago Argentino within Los Glaciares National Park. Huge blocks of ice break away from the crevasse-riddled face with a thunderous roar, sending giant waves splashing across the lake.
Huge chunks of electric-blue ice break off the 60-meter-high face of the Perito Moreno Glacier and crash into Lake Argentino. The dramatic wall of ice is surrounded by snowcapped peaks and autumn-colored beech forests.
