About Perito Moreno Glacier

A major tourist attraction in Argentinian Patagonia, the Perito Moreno Glacier is located in the Los Glaciares National Park in southwest Santa Cruz Province. Named after pioneer Fransisco Morena, who played an important role in shaping Argentina’s border with Chile in the 19th century, the glacier is 97 square miles (250 km) wide and 19 miles (30 km) long. Trekkers on the glacier wear crampons, traction devices worn over footwear to prevent slipping on the ice.
