Did you know that glaciers are large masses of compressed ice? Maybe yes, but… that they form 75% of the planet’s fresh water and occupy 10% of the earth’s surface? If these data already sound surprising, it is even more so to visit the most impressive famous glaciers in the world<\/b>. <\/p>\n

Despite the fact that climate change has reduced the number of icebergs or their extension, there are still huge blocks of ice that will leave you speechless. If you’ve already read our post on the effects of climate change on the glaciers of Iceland<\/a> you’ll already know a bit more. <\/p>\n

Below we tell you the 10 most impressive famous glaciers in the world<\/b> so you don’t miss them. So… 3 2 1 Let’s get started!<\/p>\n

Ifyou travel to Argentina<\/a>, visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier<\/a> is a must and one of the favorite places for travelers. Above all, walking on top of it (don’t miss the famous minitrekking along the Perito Moreno”<\/a>). That’s why it has the number one spot in our top 10.<\/p>\n

The iceberg is part of the Glacier National Park in Argentina. The specific location is in the Andean Cordillera<\/b>. <\/p>\n

Its dimensions are impressive, it is 5 kilometers long and 60 meters high<\/b>. It will make your hair stand on end. But, that’s not all, it forms huge “bridges” every 4 years, and every so often there is a ice detachment<\/a> that is a real spectacle.<\/p>\n

As we said before, it is located in the Glacier National Park, along with other ice blocks such as Upsala, Spegazzini, Heim and Seco that are worth visiting. <\/p>\n
