'Perito Moreno glacier is one of the most famous glaciers in the world. A bunch of tourists travel everyday from El Calafate to the Magallanes peninsula to be astonished by the incredible glacier front that dams the Lago Argentino, isolating the sediment-rich Brazo Rico. However, every few years an incredible dam-break event makes worldwide news. But, what are the future perspectives for it? Having a steady (not advancing) frontal position and remaining roughly balanced, future climate change scenarios don't look really promising for it.
The camera used is a Nikon D7100, with a 18-140 mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. The setting was 1/800 sec at f/9.0, ISO 160 and a focal length of 45 mm. It was slightly edited by Adobe Lightroom 5, mainly highlighting the clarity a little.'
