Fitz Roy, Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia, Argentina, South America
Monte Fitz Roy is a mountain located near El Chaltén village, in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in Patagonia, on the border between Argentina and Chile. First climbed in 1952 by French alpinists Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone, it remains among the most technically challenging mountains on Earth for mountaineers. Monte Fitz Roy is the basis for the Patagonia clothing logo following Yvon Chouinard's ascent and subsequent film in 1968. Francisco Moreno first saw the mountain on 2 March 1877. He named it Fitz Roy, in honour of Robert FitzRoy, who, as captain of the HMS Beagle had travelled up the Santa Cruz River in 1834 and charted large parts of the Patagonian coast. Cerro is a Spanish word meaning hill, while Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche (Aonikenk) word meaning smoking mountain, due to a cloud that usually forms around the mountain's peak. Fitz Roy, however, was only one of a number of peaks the Tehuelche called Chaltén. It has been agreed by Argentina and Chile that their international border detours eastwards to pass over the main summit, but a large part of the border to the south of the summit, as far as Cerro Murallón, remains undefined. The mountain is the symbol of the Argentine Santa Cruz Province, which includes its representation on its coat of arms. The mountain has a reputation of being ultimate, despite its average height (although being the highest peak in the Los Glaciares park, it is less than half the size of the Himalayan giants), because the sheer granite faces present long stretches of arduous technical climbing. In addition, the weather in the area is exceptionally inclement and treacherous. It also attracts many photographers thanks to its otherworldly shape. The area, while still fairly inaccessible, was even more isolated until the recent development of El Chaltén village and El Calafate international airport. The mountain climb, however, remains extremely difficult and is the preserve of very experienced climbers. Today, when a hundred people may reach the summit of Mount Everest in a single day, Monte Fitz Roy might only be successfully ascended once during the span of a year.

Perito Moreno Glacier, Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz, Patagonia, Argentina, South America
The Perito Moreno Glacier is a glacier located in the Los Glaciares National Park in southwest Santa Cruz province, Argentina. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentine Patagonia. The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation, and 30 km (19 mi) in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This icefield is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water. The Perito Moreno glacier, located 78 kilometres (48 mi) from El Calafate, was named after the explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 19th century and played a major role in defending the territory of Argentina in the conflict surrounding the international border dispute with Chile. The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of only three Patagonian glaciers that is growing. The reason remains debated by glaciologists. The terminus of the Perito Moreno Glacier is 5 kilometres (3 mi) wide, with an average height of 74 m (240 ft) above the surface of the water of Lake Argentino, in Argentina. It has a total ice depth of 170 metres (558 ft). Pressures from the weight of the ice slowly pushes the glacier over the southern arm (Brazo Rico) of Lago Argentino (Lake Argentina) damming the section and separating it from the rest of the lake. With no outlet, the water-level on the Brazo Rico side of the lake can rise by as much as 30 meters above the level of the main body of Lake Argentina. Periodically, the pressure produced by the height of the dammed water breaks through the ice barrier causing a spectacular rupture, sending a massive outpouring of water from the Brazo Rico section to the main body of Lake Argentina. As the water exits Brazo Rico, the scored shoreline is exposed, showing evidence of the height of the water build-up. This dam ice bridge rupture cycle recurs naturally between once a year to less than once a decade. The last rupture occurred on January 19th 2013, and previously, March 4th 2012, 2008, 2006, 2004, 1988, 1986, 1980, 1977, 1975, 1972, 1970, 1966, 1963, 1960, 1956, 1953, 1952, 1947, 1940, 1934 and 1917. It ruptures, on average, about every four to five years. As of February 2012, before the March 2 rupture, the glacier dammed the Brazo Rico. The water level there had risen 5.6 meters. Due to its size and accessibility, Perito Moreno is one of the major tourist attractions in southern Patagonia. It is less than two hours by bus from El Calafate, and many tour companies run daily visits. A large visitor centre at the site features a walking circuit which allows visitors to view the southern flank and the east facing edge of the glacier. In recent years, trekking tours on the ice have gained popularity. The two standard tours are a mini-trekking option, consisting of a short walk of about an hour and a half, and a big ice version, which is usually about five hours. Tour companies generally provide crampons to customers.

Parque Nacional Los Glaciares 360 - Argentina World Friendly
En el sudoeste de la provincia de Santa Cruz impactan las enormes paredes de hielo que conforman buena parte del gran Campo de Hielo Patagónico, la tercera concentración de hielo más grande del mundo después de los polos. Emplazado en torno a los lagos Argentino y Viedma se encuentra aquí el Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad según declaración de la UNESCO del año 1981. Se trata de un verdadero reino de hielos eternos donde se cuentan unos 350 glaciares. El más grande de estos es el Upsala, con 50 km de largo y casi 10 km de ancho, aunque el más impactante –y famoso- es el Perito Moreno, soberbio y majestuoso, con un frente de 5 km y una altura de 60 metros sobre el nivel del lago, producto de su lento avance sus paredes se desprenden ocasionalmente generando un espectáculo único. En el sector norte del Parque se encuentra el cerro Fitz Roy que se destaca por su altura -3.375 m.s.n.m.- y por su presencia monumental. Enmarcan este espectáculo, elevaciones graníticas terciarias alfombradas por tupidos bosques andinos.
Glaciar Perito Moreno , Santa Cruz Argentina
El glaciar Perito Moreno es una gruesa masa de hielo ubicada en el departamento Lago Argentino de la provincia de Santa Cruz, en el sudoeste de la Argentina, en la región de la Patagonia.
Este glaciar se origina en el campo de hielo Patagónico Sur. En su descenso, alcanza el brazo Sur del lago Argentino, con un frente de 5 km de longitud, aflorando sobre el agua con una altura de unos 60 m.
Gracias a su constante avance, represa las aguas del brazo Rico de dicho lago, lo cual genera un desnivel con respecto al resto del lago de hasta 30 m. Por la presión de esta masa líquida se producen filtraciones en el hielo las que crean un túnel con una bóveda de más de 50 m la que finalmente se derrumba, en un inusual espectáculo natural, fácilmente presenciable por turistas, por lo que es el máximo atractivo del Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, el cual integra.
Su nombre hace honor a Francisco Moreno, director del museo de la Sociedad Científica Argentina y activo explorador de la zona austral de ese país.

Puerto Moreno, Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz, Argentina
Glaciar Perito Moreno on the southern area of the Park continuous dynamic changes produces a cyclic phenomenon of forward and backward movement, with spectacular ice falls from its front walls. These are due to the fact that the front is located at a shallow depth, causing the pressure exerted by advancing to oppose the brake found at its base. The Rupture, or the phenomenon of large breaks, is achieved when the front of the glacier reaches to settle on the Magallanes peninsula; This forms a natural dam, which causes the water in the southern arm of Lago Argentino to generate increasing pressure on the dam, due to the fact that its level rises due to the melting of that area. At a time when the difference in water levels between both parts of the lake is considerable (between 9 and 30 meters), the dam begins to break, filtering water that undermines it, to form a bridge between the glacier and the peninsula that is finally torn down. This fact can not be predicted, since the glacier has no pattern of behavior detected so far.

Le Glacier Perito Moreno - Province de Santa Cruz - Patagonie - Argentine
En partant de El Calafate, j’ai longé un lac sur 80 km. D’une superficie de 1 466 km2 et d’une profondeur moyenne de 150 m, le lac Argentino est à la fois un département, et le plus grand et austral des lacs de Patagonie argentine.
Situé dans le Parc National de Los Glacieres, dans la province de Santa Cruz et du département du Lago Argentino,le Perito Moreno fait parti des 48 glaciers alimentés par le champ de glace sud de Patagonie.
D’une surface totale de 250 km2 comprenant 5 km de largeur face au lac, 30 km de longueur, et 170 m de hauteur (dont 60 m au-dessus du niveau de l’eau), il est le plus spectaculaire, majestueux et accessible glacier de tout le massif de la Cordillère des Andes.
Il est aussi l'un des trois seuls glaciers de Patagonie qui n'est pas en régression. Il progresse d'environ deux mètres par jour (700 mètres par an).
Malgré l’indéniable attrait touristique du lieu, il est impossible d’être déçu par la beauté phénoménale de ce glacier. Une passerelle permet de le contempler et d’immortaliser ce moment sacré...
Qui de mieux que J.S Bach pour immortaliser cette symphonie de bleu et blanc sacré...
E1/V13 Glaciar Perito Moreno y el Parque Nacional Los Glaciares en moto
El paisaje que se ve de ida y un poco del Glaciar Perito Moreno. La reserva ocupa una superficie de 124 mil hectáreas en la provincia de Santa Cruz. Miles de años en el pasado, parte de la reserva estuvo cubierta por glaciares. A ellos se deben los amplios valles y sus abruptas laderas. En consecuencia de los cambios climáticos se formaron lagos y espesos bosques que hoy en día rodean el Perito Moreno. Caminar sobre él es una experiencia inolvidable y altamente divertida. Dentro del mar de hielo hay ríos, cascadas y cuevas heladas.

Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, South America
Los Glaciares National Park is a federal protected area in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The park covers an area of 726,927 ha (7,269.27 km2; 2,806.68 sq mi), making it the second largest national park in the country. Established in 1937, it houses a representative sample of the Magellanic Subpolar Forest and western Patagonian Steppe biodiversity in good state of conservation. In 1980 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The park's name refers to the giant ice cap in the Andes range that feeds 47 large glaciers, of which 13 flow towards the Atlantic Ocean. The ice cap is the largest outside of Antarctica and Greenland. In other parts of the world, glaciers start at a height of at least 2,500 m (8,200 ft) above mean sea level, but due to the size of the ice cap, these glaciers begin at only 1,500 m (4,900 ft), sliding down to 200 m (660 ft) Los Glaciares borders Torres del Paine National Park to the south in Chilean territory. Los Glaciares, of which 30% is covered by ice, can be divided in two parts, each corresponding with one of the two elongated big lakes partially contained by the park. Lake Argentino, 1,466 km2 (566 sq mi) and the largest in Argentina, is in the south, while Lake Viedma, 1,100 km2 (420 sq mi), is in the north. Both lakes feed the Santa Cruz River that flows down to Puerto Santa Cruz on the Atlantic. Between the two halves is a non-touristic zone without lakes called Zona Centro. The northern half consists of part of Viedma Lake, the Viedma Glacier and a few minor glaciers, and a number of mountains very popular among fans of climbing and trekking, including Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. The southern part has, as well as a number of smaller ones, the major glaciers which flow into Lake Argentino: Perito Moreno Glacier, Upsala Glacier, and Spegazzini Glacier. Typical excursion boats travel between icebergs to visit Bahía Onelli, and the otherwise inaccessible Spegazzini and Upsala. The Perito Moreno is reachable by land. The mountains hold most of the humidity from the Pacific Ocean, letting through only the ice coldness (annual average of 7.5 °C (45.5 °F)) and creating the arid Patagonian steppe on the Argentine side of the range. This area is habitat for ñandúes, guanaco, cougar, and gray fox, the latter who has suffered from the invasion of the cattle industry and are endangered. The guanaco, while not endangered, has had a dramatic decline in historic population due to large scale grazing of livestock throughout much of Patagonia. There are over 1000 species of birds in the area (condors, eagles, and others), but only 100 have been registered. Between the ice and the Patagonian steppe there is a fertile area of Magellanic subpolar forests composed mainly of lengas and guindos, but also ñires. Within these more hospitable areas also live huemul deer and torrent duck. Los Glaciares is a major attraction for international tourists. Starting points of tours are the village of El Calafate at the shore of Lake Argentino but outside the park, where the park's administration has its headquarters, and El Chaltén village in the northern part of the park, at the foot of the Fitz Roy. Other touristic points in the park include Lago del Desierto and Lago Roca.
