【Perito Moreno Glacier】The sound of ice falling made me feel the passage of Earth's time.

Located in Patagonia, Argentina, the Perito Moreno Glacier. I thought it was just a wall of ice. But standing there in person, the massive blocks of blue and white filled my view, alive and making sounds. These ice masses, formed over tens of thousands of years, crack with a sharp snap, collapse with a thunderous boom, and fall into the lake. It felt as if somewhere, the Earth was telling me it was moving. ⸻ 📍Location Inside Los Glaciares National Park (Parque Nacional Los Glaciares) Base town: El Calafate About 1.5 hours by car from the town to the glacier (bus tours available) 🕰️Best Season October to April (Spring to Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere) *This period has high chances of clear skies and frequent glacier collapses. 💸Estimated Costs - Entrance fee: Around 6,000–7,000 Argentine pesos (approximately 10,000 yen) - Round-trip bus from El Calafate: 3,000–5,000 pesos - Optional boat tours or ice trekking: Around 15,000 pesos and up ⸻ 🌟Key Points from the Experience - The viewing decks are very well-maintained, offering stunning views from anywhere. - The sound is incredible. It's more of a "listening" glacier experience than just "seeing." - If you're lucky, you can witness the moment of collapse (this is truly amazing). - If you have time, a boat tour to see the ice walls up close is highly recommended. - The weather changes quickly, so prepare for cold and windy conditions. ⸻
