Lago Argentino
The glacier is located in the Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentinian Patagonia.
The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation, 30 km (19 mi) in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This ice field is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water.
The Perito Moreno Glacier, located 78 kilometres (48 mi) from El Calafate, was named after the explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 19th century and played a major role in defending the territory of Argentina in the conflict surrounding the international border dispute with Chile
Despite that most of the innumerable glaciers worldwide are retreating as a result of global warming and climate change, one of the few unusual glaciers that maintains a state of equilibrium is the Perito Moreno glacier because it continues to accumulate mass at a rate similar to that of its loss.
Es evidente el origen de su nombre.

Monte Fitz Roy is a mountain in Patagonia, on the border between Argentina and Chile. It is located in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, near El Chaltén village and Viedma lake.
Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche (Aonikenk) word meaning "smoking mountain", due to a cloud that usually forms around the mountain's peak. Fitz Roy, however, was only one of a number of peaks the Tehuelche called Chaltén.
Más conocido como Fitz Roy, el Chaltén (montaña humeante en lengua tehuelche) domina esta parte de la Patagonia Argentina. Tras cinco días por la zona sólo se dejó ver cuando ya nos íbamos y pude sacar la foto desde la carretera.

El glaciar Perito Moreno nace en el Hielo Patagónico Sur, una extensión helada entre Argentina y Chile, y desemboca en el lado sur del Lago Argentino, el más grande del país. El Perito Moreno alcanza en algunos puntos los setenta metros de altura y tiene un frente de cinco kilómetros. Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde 1981.
Tras una extenuante excursión para subir hasta la base del Chaltén (más conocido como Fitz Roy) la visibilidad era nula y el chasco enorme. La laguna de los Tres recibe este nombre en honor a los tres montañeros franceses que por primera vez escalaron el Fitz Roy en 1952.
