The Perito Moreno glacier face is formed from three individual glaciers. Spanning five km in width, it loses about 2 metres of ice every day, which crack off as 60-m-high icebergs into the lake at its base. The face itself is full of cracks and crevasses. You can walk on this glacier and on the rock faces opposite where the view is indescribable. There are some safety balconies where you can wait and watch and be astounded by the incredible sight and loud sounds of the pillars of ice shearing off with a groan and a crack and hitting the lake.
