Perito Moreno is a 30-kilometre glacier in Los Glaciares National Park with a five-kilometre front standing about 70 metres above the water. Unlike most glaciers it has remained roughly stable, and blocks calve off the face regularly in front of the viewing walkways. Boat trips and guided ice walks put you at water level and on the ice itself.
