Why is the Perito Moreno Glacier breaking? This immense mass of ice, 60 meters high, 5 kilometers wide and 30 kilometers long, slowly but steadily advances towards the mainland, which forms a unique characteristic that causes a kind of reservoir where the water that passes between the so-called arm north and south of Lake Argentino, they form a kind of dam. Scientists study this phenomenon that without ruling out the fact that the global temperature rise does not respond to climate change, but rather this natural spectacle occurs every 2 or 4 years in response to water seepage through a subglacial channel, causing the pressure of it erodes the tunnel and breaks.
