pos: Perito Moreno Glacier Perito Moreno Glacier The Perito Moreno Glacier () is a glacier located in the Los Glaciares National Park in southwest Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentinian Patagonia. The ice formation, in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This ice field is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water. The Perito Moreno Glacier, located from El Calafate, was named after the explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 19th century and

pos: Santa Cruz Province, Argentina and Río Gallegos produces prawn, squid, hake and dozens of others. Most of the production is frozen and exported. There is little agriculture due to the arid nature of the soil. There is a small timber industry fed by both forests and planted trees, of which the wood of the lenga is the most exploited. Santa Cruz's most visited destination is Los Glaciares National Park and a number of glaciers of which the Perito Moreno Glacier is the most famous. Nearby El Calafate has an airport that connects the area with Buenos Aires and Trelew. Some 200 kilometres north of

pos: Perito Moreno Glacier empties into Lake Argentino, which also is under Argentine sovereignty. Before the treaty, the area was in dispute between the two countries. Finally, in 1899, after long years of research, compilation of archaeological material, and survey of the area, Argentine Lieutenant Iglesias, who was in charge of the studies for the Argentine Hydrographic Institute, named the coveted glacier Perito Moreno Glacier in homage to Mr. Francisco Pascasio Moreno.

pos: Perito Moreno Glacier played a major role in defending the territory of Argentina in the conflict surrounding the international border dispute with Chile. The glacier is unusual in that it is advancing, while most glaciers worldwide are retreating. The reason remains debated by glaciologists. The terminus of the Perito Moreno Glacier is wide, with an average height of above the surface of the water of Argentino Lake, in Argentina. It has a total ice depth of . Pressure from the weight of the ice slowly pushes the glacier over the southern arm ("Brazo Rico") of Argentino Lake, damming the section and separating it

Its higher portion lies in a disputed territory between Chile and Argentina. While the glacier flows from north to south it has three lesser eastflowing tributary glacier: Bertacchi, Cono and Murallón. The glacier terminus is at Upsala channel of Lago Argentino. The Upsala Glacier is well known for its rapid retreat, which many see as evidence for global warming. Its retreat has been ongoing since the glacier was first documented in 1810. The name comes from the old spelling with

The name of the mountain is actually Snæfell, but it is normally called "Snæfellsjökull" to distinguish it from two other mountains with this name. It is situated on the most western part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland. Sometimes it may be seen from the city of Reykjavík over Faxa Bay, at a distance of 120 km. The mountain is one of the most famous sites of Iceland, primarily due to the novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1864) by Jules Verne, in which the

Some years later, Rudolph Hauthal, attached to the Argentine Boundary Commission, met the glacier, and decided to name it "Bismarck" in honor of Prussian Chancellor. In 1881 the Boundary Treaty between Chile and Argentina was signed, which defined the boundaries of both countries in the Andes mountain range up to the 52nd parallel. The glacier is east of the Andes Mountains and

Its name (which means "white glacier") derives from the fact that – unlike the nearby Glacier Noir ("black glacier") – its surface appears pristinely white due to an absence of morainic debris. A glacier that is largely free of such moraines is generally described in French as a "glacier blanc". The Glacier Blanc begins on the northern slopes of the most southwesterly of the four-thousanders in the Alps, the high Barre des Écrins. It is separated from the Glacier Noir to the south by the crest

A number of significant Antarctic features, including a glacier, are named for Albrecht Penck.

The Pindari Glacier is also famous for other adventure sports like ice climbing and mountain biking. A glacier terminus, toe, or snout, is the end of a glacier at any given point in time. Although glaciers seem motionless to the observer, in reality glaciers are in endless motion and the glacier terminus is always either advancing or retreating. There are several surveys

Its highest peak is Ýmir (1462m), which takes its name from the giant Ýmir of Norse mythology. The most recent eruption was at an unknown time in the Holocene. The name means "Tindfjöll glacier".

Muir Glacier retreated 33 km from 1886 to 1968 featuring extensive calving the entire time. It reversed its retreat briefly 1890—1892.
