Perito Moreno

We've seen glacier, not a big thing, we thought, when we took to the Perito Moreno Glacier in El Calafate. However, we did not expect such a beast: 18 km long to the root of the mountain, 5 km wide at the front,walls 50 m high, which makes you feel very very small. As some paths were closed we had the pleasure of watching the glacier spit and crack for 5 hours, causing a frightful noise, you feel the whole thing is coming down to get you any minute. The best thing was that after 4 hours it almost melted in our presence, Kat's wish came true and a huge tower broke off, causing huge waves. Some people say it's simply because it moves 40cm everyday and gets squashed by the coast and the pressure of the lake where it reaches it shore, we rather believe that it was so pleased to see 1,5 people from Luxembourg that it gave it its honours. Fantastic experience.
