I just looked at all the pics...I'm amazed by some of these pics. They are beautiful, especially the Icebergs occupied by penguins and seals. Thanks Ei.

Received this in email last night
Kind of sad

                          Southern Argentina
 
This is an every-four-year event that has gone on for centuries.
Absolutely amazing!  This clip is of the spectacular South American
glacier, The Perito Moreno Glacier, which breaks up every four years
like clock work, give or take a week.  There are photographers from the
four corners of the earth that come to southern Argentina and literally
camp out at  the glacier site in order to get the actual breakup on
film. The individual who filmed this did a marvelous job. This is
something your children and grandchildren should surely see!

 
  Hope this works. Amazing

You will see something spectacular.

Thanks for getting it to work.
Too old to learn new tricks.
That's why I just lurk.

Our Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most amazing Nature places I´ve ever been. It is  :( to think that the Earth can survive without the beauty of glaciers...
Mirta, preparing a trip to Rio Gallegos, a city close to Perito Moreno´s National Park, but I won´t have the time to visit it again...
