4. Perito Moreno Glacier
Here are pictures from my trip to see Perrito Moreno glacier. It is located 80 km west of El Calafate. I was hoping for better weather, but it was raining. That didn't stop me from going. But it was cloudy and the light wasn't too good for taking good pictures. The glacier itself is huge. It is one of the few glaciers in the world, which is actually growing. It is very touristy there with many people around. It is a living organism, constantly moving and breaking apart. Back in El Calafate I was treated to one of the most beautiful sunset.
