Perito Moreno Glacier

The Perito Moreno Glacier in Southern Patagonia is the world's 3rd largest reserve of fresh water.

"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. The reason remains debated by glaciologists."

Glacier fed water in Patagonia has a special greenish-blue color due to minerals.

See video for a "calving" that I was able to capture.
