Typical landscape of the Argentinian Patagonia

The Andes rise between Argentina and Chile. The climate changes dramaticly

One of the biggest attractions of Patagonia is Perito Moreno glacier

This wall of ice is up to 70m high

Large chunks of ice often break off and fall into the lake

New walkways provide a great way to appreciate the size of this monster

Perito Moreno is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field

Periodically the glacier advances forming a natural dam. It separates the lake into two halves

The water-level rises and the pressure breaks through the ice. It produces a spectacular rupture event

Perito Moreno Glacier is one of only three Patagonian glaciers that are growing

It's 30km long and covers 250 square kilometers

Chunks of ice from Perito Moreno

This is a small part of Lago Argentino, the biggest freshwater lake in Argentina

Ducks have no problem swimming in cold water

Iguazu National Park on the border between Argentina and Brazil

Some of the smaller waterfalls

Thousands of tourists come to see the waterfalls, but there is a lot of wildlife to be seen in the park

There should be no problem finding a tiger ant

This ant killed a caterpillar

This snake is not poisonous, but dangerous coral snake looks very similar
