21.6.11 The Perito Moreno glacierThe Perito Moreno glacier Argentina

The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentine Patagonia. The terminus of the glacier is 5 km wide, with an average height of 60 meters above the surface of the water, with a total ice depth of 170 meters.

At its deepest part, the glacier has a depth of approximately 700 m. The 250 km² ice formation, of 30 km 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 advances at a speed of up to 2 m per day (around 700 m per year) - but it also loses mass at approximately the same rate, meaning that aside from small variations, its terminus has not advanced or receded in the past 90 years. The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of only three Patagonian glaciers that are not retreating.
