Travel to Argentina, South America, and visit the Moreno Glacier at the southernmost point of the world. Moreno Glacier is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still in motion. It slowly approaches the mainland at a speed of tens of meters per year. In the local area, I can be fortunate to hear the sound of glacier cracking and the glacier falling towards the sea. The peculiar cloud phenomenon in South America is also a highlight.

The Argentine Glacier National Park is located in southern Argentina. There are 47 glaciers in the park that originated from the Patagonian Ice Field. In 1945, Argentina listed this area as a national park for protection, and in 1981 it was included in the United Nations World Natural Heritage.

The Glacier Park integrates glaciers, lakes and forests, and the Moreno Glacier in the park is even more famous. Moreno Glacier, named after the explorer Francisco Moreno (Francisco Moreno), is one of the few living glaciers in the world and one of only three glaciers that have not retreated in the Patagonian Plateau. The Moreno Glacier advances at a speed of about 30 cm every day. Bingtong broad surface 5 kilometers. The depth of the glacier is 180 meters, which is 60 meters above the surface of Lake Argentina (two-thirds of the glaciers are below the surface). When I was there, I seemed to feel the aura of the ice age, as if an army of thousands of horses and horses came out in a mighty vent, the venue is very spectacular. The plank road is not long. If you don't take pictures, it is estimated that it will take only ten minutes to walk to the bottom of the plank road. If you count the photos, it will be about 1.5 hours. The plank road runs down the hillside, and sightseeing platforms are built in places suitable for viewing. Taking a panoramic view from above, you can face the glacier. A white dragon leaped down from the Andes and stopped on the Argentine Lake. The glacier is very wide, and this is a living glacier, a glacier that has not degraded despite global warming. Even if the weather is not good enough, it cannot conceal the grandeur and spectacular scenery of Moreno Glacier. In summer, you can hear the sound of glaciers collapsing every few minutes, and broken ice falls on the lake, posing different shapes.

From El Calafate to the active glacier-Moreno. At 8 o’clock in the morning, the bus went to the hotel to pick us up to the scenic spots. At 8:30, the 45-seater bus was full; along the way, the tour guide unfolded the map, introduced the cause and current situation of the glacier in detail, and told us what happened here. Historical events. More than 100 years ago, hundreds of Germans, Spanish and Italians came here to look for development opportunities and start their own businesses, but there were few successful ones. He pointed to a few cabins outside the window and said that these were three of the winners. The villas they settled and built here were used for vacation. Before we knew it, nearly two hours passed, and we reached Moreno. First, take a yacht to browse repeatedly from the lake, and then take a shuttle bus from the mountain along the plank road to gradually observe far and close. Approximately every 15 minutes, there will be the sound of melting large ice cubes breaking into the water, like Chinese people setting off firecrackers during the New Year, and the sound of cracking is very shocking; so, the glacier pushes south every year...
