This enormous glacier is one of the really few ones in the world that actually is growing in spite of the global warming. The end of the glacier (bordering the Lake Argentino) is more than 5 km wide, and a 60 m tall part of it can be seen above the level of the water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Calafate<\/strong> was a small settlement that went through incredible growth (the population quadrupled in a decade) due to the tourism. \u00a0We have a friend there, Rana, who told us that it was a little deserted village when they moved there at the end of the 90s and now it\u2019s a town full of hostels, restaurants and even casinos. Finding a cheap hostel there is not a problem and the <strong>small buffet of \u201cDo\u00f1a Merch\u00e9\u201d<\/strong> with delicious empanadas, pizzas and giant \u201cmilanesa\u201d sandwiches helped us out when we felt hungry.<\/p>\n<p>The town is situated on the lakeside, and there are several nice walks to do in the surroundings. However, the best way to enjoy the Patagonian atmosphere is to go to the local camping, of course it is only an option in Summer. In Argentina campings are really cool, all parcels have their own barbecue, and Argentinean people really use it for an &#8220;asado&#8221; as they call it.<\/p>\n<p>We took a tour from el Calafate\u00a0to <strong>visit the glacier in the afternoon<\/strong> (there is usually less people then, as those who just spend a day in El Calafate go in the morning). The ticket for the bus and entrance ticket are really overpriced for foreigners, but in the case of this natural wonder you don\u2019t see it that way.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-312 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2014\/02\/At-the-Perito-Moreno-Glacier.jpg?strip=all&resize=1000%2C667\" alt=\"At the Perito Moreno Glacier\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><br \/>\nWe spent there five hours in the walkways looking at the glacier from all different angles. We looked at each other quite often, watching the amazement on the other\u2019s face. We stood there next to this giant piece of ice and we felt incredibly small, it is probably the <strong>most impressive natural landmark we have ever seen<\/strong>.

The day we spent there was a wonderful sunny day and quite warm for being in Patagonia. Due to the warm day, sometimes <strong>really large chunks of ice fell into the water<\/strong>. Every time it <strong>sounded like a huge explosion<\/strong>, and we felt lucky to assist this amazing natural phenomenon &#8211; in the end we were able to get even sequence shots of one of these detachments.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-314 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno.jpg?strip=all\" alt=\"Ice detachment Perito Moreno\" width=\"1000\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno.jpg?strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno-300x224.jpg?strip=all 300w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=200 200w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=400 400w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=600 600w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=800 800w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Ice-detachment-Perito-Moreno.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=450 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nWe have already talked more than necessary;
