El Calafate is located at Lago Argentino and is famous for the Perito Moreno glacier which is nearby. With its unique layout facing a peninsula you can get some of the most spectacular glacial views in the world. Several terraces have been built to provide several angles and to get up close.
We ourselves took a cab to the National Park Los Glaciares to have as much time as possible to take pictures, film and watch ice collapse from the front of the Perito Moreno Glacier.
This part of the trip was executed within 2 days and this is what we saw:
- Southern Patagonian Ice Field
- Perito Moreno Glacier / Glaciar Perito Moreno
- Lago Argentino
- El Calafate
- Campo Hielo Sur
I'm excited to share all our experiences in Patagonia over the course of the next weeks with you. In the next episode we will do the full circuit in Torres del Paine and meet more impressive characters along the way.
The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.

GLACIER Perito Moreno, a BOAT Tour (Budget Travel Argentina) {Los Glaciares National Park ARGENTINA}
Budget Travel Argentina #11
The Perito Moreno Glacier is a spectacular sight to behold! Magnificent in its size and color, Perito Moreno is part of the Argentinian and Andes ice field, the third largest in the world.
Located in the Los Glaciares National Park, there are numerous ways to get to the park and the glaciers from the nearest town, El Calafate, 80 kilometers away. However, because of Patagonia's isolation and popularity, entering Los Glaciares is not particularly cheap.
Matt bites the bullet and splurges for a trip along Lago Argentino and a boat tour of Perito Moreno. How often can massive glaciers be seen that, at some point, the wallet has to be opened. There is even a brief glimpse of the glacier calving.
Besides getting his money's worth from the tour, Matt eats enough wild berries to have saved on paying for lunch.

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.

_________________
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. Se integra dentro del Parque Nacional Los Glaciares.
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, forma una represa con 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 que crean un túnel con una bóveda de más de 50 m de altura. El derrumbe de esta bóveda constituye un inusual espectáculo natural y es uno de los mayores atractivos del parque.
El nombre del glaciar hace honor a Francisco Moreno, director del museo de la Sociedad Científica Argentina y activo explorador de la zona austral de ese país.

Perito Moreno Glacier - Los Glaciares National Park
March 30, 2015
Today's excursion was to be to visit the Perito Moreno Glacier at Los Glaciares National Park.
We drove from El Calafate to the National Park - the third oldest in the world.
We then walked around their unbelievable 7 mile aluminum grated walkways.
The views were spectacular as this is one glacier we can see from above.
Just as I was filming, there was a calving and Gennie called out There is a big one!
I was able to capture it as it was tumbling and seeing the subsequent reactions from the water.
