Argentina - Imminent collapse - Glaciar Perito Moreno

The Graciar Perito Moreno in Patagonia, Argentina is one of Argentina's greatest natural wonders. In the right time of the year big blocks of ice break off the glacier and drop into the canal. The colors and shapes of the ice remind of a piece of art of Gaudi.
During the summer a tunnel is being formed below the glacier through which the channel flows. The highlight of the year is the collapse of the tunnel around mid March. The recordings in the video clip were made one day before the 2016 collapse when big chunks of ice were falling off already.
We visited the Perito Moreno during our overland trip from the Netherlands to South Africa and from there on to South America.

[@krappercinofpv6998]

The Perito Moreno Glacier is a rare growing ice form. Nearly all of the glaciers around the world are retreating, or have disappeared entirely, due to global warming. ... As the Perito Moreno Glacier grows, its tip cuts off part of Lake Argentino. As a result, the glacier creates a dam and pressure builds in the lake.

[@Beesurvivor]

The people watching close to it, that appears in this video, are in risk. It happened that some big waves after the ice broke swollowed persons throwing them into the lake.

[@timbibin1301]

Really? Are you saying that people have died in this area after the glacier shedded some ice chunks?

[@karenyeomans4716]

[@kamran102]

This glaciar -as I know- is the only growing glaciar on earth still yet, because we left behind the glaciar era, and it brokes every 4 to 10 years, not every year, and when that happens the two lakes join together becoming one big lake ( The argentine lake) Thank for the video it remainds me very old times there.

No entiendo porqué les causa risa, con algo tan alarmante como es ver el colapso de un glaciar, esto conlleva a un alto nivel del mar .woooo

[@eduardomontes1276]

No diga tonteras, informese antes de escribir. El glaciar Perito Moreno no esta colapsando, es un glaciar en movimiento, se desplaza diariamente entre 1,5 a 2 metros, esto se debe a que la masa de hielo que viene detrás empuja, ademas de otros factores. El que se desmorone es porque cierra el canal de salida del agua y divide en dos el Lago Argentino, el agua sube de un lado y empuja con fuerza lo que lleva a crear una presión que descompensa la parte mas débil y se produce ese agujero. Alto nivel del mar???? has escuchado de la evaporación del agua y la consecuente lluvia/nieve???

If all glaciers were to completely melt, in summer many rivers would dry out, fresh water would be much harder to get and crops would grow much harder, people would starve. Its impossible that glaciers located under 3000 meters would become ice free in the next centuries if global warming continues to rise as the last 20 years. So there is no worries needed

[@wompbozer3939]

MrDrewthat The ends of the glaciers come and go as part of an annual cycle. If it weren’t for this phenomenon, the whole world would be covered in ice. Sometimes particular glaciers disappear, other times they expand into areas we haven’t observed before. Relax

[@Abuelena]

Approximately every two years ice from the glacier obstructs a channel. Water grows more than one side. In summer, the water pressure causes the ice to break. The glacier persists and grows normally. It seems that heating does not affect it. regards
