Fly to the Perito Moreno glacier
That´s right! With a simple click (and Google Earth installed on your PC) you´ll be auto-piloted to the majestic Perito Moreno glacier in argentinian Patagonia. It is one of the very few glaciers of the world that still advances. I was there on the 8th of January this year, and I strongly recommend it. To stand on the tounge of land opposing the glacier is not only a visual experience, you also hear the constant ruptures and movements inside the 40 m high and 3 km wide ice wall before you. Every few minutes a lorry-sized ice block breaks off and plunges into the lake below, to the cheer and applause of the spectators. But don´t venture too close, warning signs tell of flying ice shards wounding fatally dozens of people...
