US EditionHuge ice falls at Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier stir awe and concern
- A large ice block about 70 meters tall recently calved from Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier in Los Glaciares National Park.
- This event follows years of stable glacial mass, but since 2015 the glacier has been losing 0.85 meters annually amid rising temperatures and decreasing precipitation.
- Local guides and glaciologists express concern over increasingly large calving events and signs of the glacier's prolonged retreat in recent years.
- Official reports co-authored by Argentine glaciologist Lucas Ruiz and a UNESCO study confirm accelerated mass loss is part of a global pattern intensified by climate change.
- Despite the retreat, the glacier remains a popular and awe-inspiring attraction, but the balance of ice accumulation and loss is disrupted with possible future acceleration of melting.
