Perito Moreno Glacier
訪問に最適な時期
October through April offers the most comfortable trekking weather and clearest skies. Arrive early morning before 10am for the best light on the ice face and smaller crowds.
予算のヒント
Entry to the national park costs roughly $15 USD for international visitors. Bring your own food and water from El Calafate as onsite options are expensive and limited.
おすすめ対象
Nature lovers, Photography enthusiasts, Adventure travelers, Climate change observers
訪問時間の計画
2-3 hours at the viewing walkways
概要
クイックファクト: 面積250平方キロメートルの氷原は、1日最大2メートル前進し、巨大な氷塊を絶えず下のターコイズブルーの水面へと崩落させています。後退しているほとんどの氷河とは異なり、この氷河はほぼ均衡を保っており、時には湖の支流を塞いで氷の橋を作り、やがて轟音とともに崩れ落ちる壮大な自然のショーを繰り広げます。
見どころ: 数年に一度、前進する氷舌が半島に押し寄せて天然のダムを形成し、湖の一部を遮断します。数ヶ月かけて水圧が高まり、やがて氷の橋が爆発的に決壊するこのイベントには、世界中から見物客が集まり、その崩落の瞬間を目撃します。
インサイダーヒント
- The viewing balconies on the main circuit offer a sweeping panorama, but the less crowded lower walkways bring you closest to the action and falling ice.
- Pack multiple layers even in summer, as strong winds off the ice can drop temperatures by 10°C within minutes.
- Skip the expensive boat tour and instead spend time on the walkways facing the southern wall, where calving happens most frequently during afternoon hours.
- Bring binoculars to spot tiny climbers traversing the ice field and to hear the glacier's groans and cracks seconds before a big break.
