this was the second glacier that i'd seen in a few days while down in patagonia - glacier perito moreno in el calafate, argentina. this one was a lot bigger, unbelievably the same size as buenos aires, and also it's one of the few glaciers that is actually growing. as a result of this it's common to see pieces break and fall off. it's quite a surreal but awe-inspiring moment when you hear it creak and sigh, and then turn to see a huge clump of ice come tumbling down to the icy lake below.

here's the original
