"Wide wall of blue ice,
Holding tourists' awed gaze.
Waiting for loud cracks."

| From 2023 03 14 Argentina Patagonia |
Today's photo-of-the-day is of Perito Moreno Glacier in the Patagonia region of Argentina. It's also my favorite glacier. It's a particularly stable glacier, at least along its leading edge, thanks to the geography of the fjord which forms a bottleneck that the glacier catches on as it advances. At that point is a boardwalk for tourists, making this one of world's most accessible glaciers for viewing. Stand and watch for a while and you'll be treated to occasional calving of large chunks of ice.
