Perito Moreno Glacier spans 250 square kilometers of advancing ice, calving house-sized blocks that weigh up to 100 tons into Lago Argentino. Its front wall rises 60 meters above the water, far easier to access than #3 Mount Aconcagua's summit, which requires technical climbing. This glacier is one of only three in the world still growing, advancing at a rate of 2 meters per day, and offers a 12-kilometer walking circuit for close-up views without the 40% oxygen deficit faced at higher altitudes.
