In Argentina, hit the glacier
in the Argentine Patagonia region collapsed large part of the glacier Perito Moreno. Glacier is unique in that it is located between Lake Argentino and its offshoot Bras Rico and forms a dam between the parts of the reservoir, which prevent the passage of water.
This collapse of the glacier was not the most spectacular in its history. Every 4-5 years, the water level in Brasov Rico is almost 30 meters above the main part of the lake. At some point the glacier is no longer withstand the pressure of the water and part of it is destroyed. Last time a similar phenomenon occurred in March 2012, so that the collapse - it is only the consequences of last year's larger collapse.
