A friend emailed this to me today and I had to share! It's pretty awesome and is something I had never even heard of prior to seeing this...but I'd love to see this in person some day

YouTube - Perito Moreno Glacier

Well if you want to see that in person someday...That some day better be very soon! We are melting the Glaciers at a Alarming rate.(global warming!!!) It is very neat but at the same time VERY SAD!

Belive me...I'm well aware of global warming!

This video is very interesting because it's something that happens every four years at the same time, within a week or two! That's amazing!

Oh wow, I would love to see that! It's impressive.
Sue, I found on internet that it's not predictable and happens anywhere from once a year to ten years, but always in March. The glacier gves me another good reason to go to patagonia, a region I have always wanted to travel too. Maybe one day I will be able to!

That is a cool video. I was going to ask you where this is and did this happen routinely? With the water cutting through the glacier you can see why it would collapse. That part of the world must get warmer every 4 years as a natural cycle.

I could easily be world traveler. There are so many natural wonders I want to see!

Great video. Thanks for sharing it
