5. Perito Moreno Glacier – Argentina
If you travel to the very South of the continent, you’ll reach Patagonia, an area shared by both Chile and Argentina. Perito Moreno is one of the 48 glaciers located in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, which is also the third largest reserve of freshwater in the world.
The glacier has an area of 250 square meters and a length of 30 kilometers. Unlike most glaciers in the globe, Perito Moreno is actually advancing, which puzzles many glaciologists. Due to its easy accessibility, the glacier is one of Argentina’s most famous attractions.
