>> Trekking Perito Moreno - Argentina

Perito Moreno Glacier

It is 80 km. away from El Calafate.
It originates in the Patagonic Ice.
Length: 30 Km.
Area covered: 257km2.
Frontal Wide: about 4km.
Color: Ice is nothing but compact snow. In this compacting process the internal structure of the snow molecules evolves and changes to give origin to a different material (ice), which new surfaces of light refraction reflect the color blue. Let's remember that every natural element absorbs a series of the colors in the spectrum and reflects another, just the one we can see. Going back to ice, the more compact it is, the darkest the blue will be.
