This glacier is one of the few in the world that continues to advance due to the warming of the Earth. While advancing, it crosses Lake Argentino and blocks the lake's outlet with an ice wall. Every few years, the wall cracks due to the immense pressure of the water created on the wall, creating one of the most amazing views on Earth. In the afternoon, we continue our journey through the desert-like Patagonian steppes.
