The rupture today, for the fifth time since 1988, of the well-known Argentine Perito Moreno glacier was a natural spectacle that few could enjoy, since it occurred around four in the morning and in the middle of a strong storm. The rupture of the glacier, which had begun the day before, attracted the attention of more than 1,800,000 people who followed the event on the Internet. The glacier break had not occurred for four years. Landslides of huge blocks of ice, preceded by a great roar, preceded the total rupture of the glacier.
Although it is not the largest among the 353 glaciers that are home to the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, the Perito Moreno is the most attractive of them due to the unique spectacle it offers while it breaks into pieces, something that happened before in 1988. 2004, 2006 and 2008.
