Perito Moreno Glacier is a massive glacier located in Los Glaciares National Park in the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina. It is one of the most famous glaciers in the world and is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The glacier spans over 250 square kilometers and is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, which is the third-largest reserve of fresh water in the world. What sets Perito Moreno Glacier apart from other glaciers is its unique formation and constantly changing shape. It is what is known as an advancing glacier, meaning it is constantly moving forward and growing. As the glacier moves, it grinds against the rock and creates a dam that blocks a section of the lake. The water pressure behind the dam eventually causes it to rupture, resulting in an incredible natural phenomenon known as a glacier calving. Visitors can witness this incredible sight from a boardwalk located just a few hundred meters from the glacier. The boardwalk offers stunning views of the glacier as well as the surrounding mountains and lakes. There are also boat tours available that take visitors up close to the glacier and offer a unique perspective of its size and beauty. Overall, Perito Moreno Glacier is a natural wonder that is definitely worth a visit for anyone traveling to Patagonia.

Oceania (Boat and Iceberg, Antarctica) (Originally published on 03.01.2020)

Boat and iceberg interactions are a common occurrence in Antarctica, which is home to some of the largest icebergs in the world. Icebergs can pose a significant danger to boats, as they may not be visible on the surface and can cause damage to the hull or even capsize a vessel. In recent years, the number of icebergs in Antarctica has increased due to climate change, with larger and more unstable ice shelves breaking off from the continent. This has led to an increase in the number of iceberg sightings and encounters for boats in the region. Boats that operate in Antarctica typically have specialized hulls and equipment designed to withstand collisions with icebergs. However, navigating through areas with high concentrations of icebergs can be challenging, and boats must be constantly vigilant to avoid collisions. Despite the dangers, many boats continue to operate in Antarctica, as the region offers unique opportunities for scientific research, tourism, and exploration. However, it is important for boats to operate responsibly and take appropriate safety measures to ensure the safety of both the crew and the environment.
Keep on!!!
