Pressure from the weight, Perito Moreno glacier
on going project
Pressure from the weight of the ice slowly pushes the glacier over the inner fjord of Lake Argentino reaching the coast of Península de Magallanes
and bisecting the lake at an area called the Brazo Rico (Rico Arm) on one side and the Canal de los Témpanos (Iceberg Channel) on the other.
With no outlet, the water level on the Brazo Rico side of the lake can rise by as much as 30 meters above the level of the main body of Argentino Lake.
Intermittently, the pressure produced by the height of the dammed water breaks through the ice barrier causing a spectacular rupture,
sending a massive outpouring of water from the Brazo Rico section to the main body of Lake Argentino and the Santa Cruz river.
As the water exits Brazo Rico, the scored shoreline is exposed, showing evidence of the height of the water build-up.
