Los Glaciares National Park

Unesco description
The Los Glaciares National Park is an area of exceptional natural beauty, with rugged, towering mountains and numerous glacial lakes, including Lake Argentino, which is 160 km long. At its farthest end, three glaciers meet to dump their effluvia into the milky grey glacial water, launching massive igloo icebergs into the lake with thunderous splashes.

The Los Glaciares National Park is home to three glaciers, of which the one you can see on this card, Perito Moreno, is perhaps the most famous. Perito Moreno is 30 km. long and the world´s third largest reserve of fresh water. It was named after pioneer Francisco Moreno in the 19th century.
