On 4th March 2012 (exactly a month ago) there was a huge glacier collapse in Argentina. The famous Perito Moreno glacier is being visited by thousands of tourists on a daily basis. There were some lucky tourists who watched the huge glacier collapse and fall into Lake Argentina on 4th March 2012. Around 2,500 tourists watched and cheered as the 97-square-mile glacier splintered and ice crashed down, according to The Telegraph. The BBC notes that the glacier reaches a massive 230 feet (70 meters) into the air, at times growing large enough to separate Lago Argentino, the lake in which it floats, in half.
It is really a stunning sight to watch the way the glaciers collapse and fall into the water. Please see this short video below:
The glacier collapsing is a natural phenomenon and tourists visit the Perito Moreno in Argentina to watch this natural phenomenon every year according to some reports.
