    Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina . . . Spectacular

    This is really spectacular (in Alaska it is called calving).
    It's of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina! It depicts a grandstand, where tourists, and visitors can watch the Glacier advancing down the hill, and a glacier icemelt stream from above flowing through the Glaciers downhill trudge, creating an Ice - Tunnel, which eventually melts, and falls into the stream in bunches and gobs . . . have seen similar in spots up in the Columbia icefields in Alberta and have seen some on the internet from Iceland, Finland, Norway, the Alps and also in Tibet - near Katmandu ! ! It's quite the video -- obviously enthralled the tourists and visitors. Hope you enjoy it too! This isn't " global warming " happening - rather it's the natural progression of a glacier, slowly advancing down the hill due to it's overall weight, and the melting at the bottom. It's pure physics !

    Watch till end.
