Los Glaciares is a major attraction for international tourists. This 60m high river of ice periodically but erratically dams the Brazo Rico, a side river of Lago Argentino, and when the ice can no longer support the weight of the rising water the dam virtually explodes. The dam hasn't formed since 1988 (perhaps due to global warming), but even in ordinary years, huge icebergs calve and topple into the channel. From a series of catwalks and platforms you can see, hear and photograph the glacier safely.
