Glaciers
Glaciers are ice sheets on the mountains. At the bottom of a glacier there is earth. Ice comes down from mountains and reaches the bottom of the valley. Ice plates are made when ice is made quicker than it melts.
We have been to many glaciers, These are the glaciers that we have seen: Viedma, Perito Moreno, and Glacier grey.
Icebergs come from glaciers. The difference between a glacier and an iceberg is that icebergs float. Did you know that you only see 1/10 of an iceberg! 9/10 of an iceberg is under water! That fact was as amazing as looking at 50 wiis at the same time.
We went to the Glaciarium which is a museum about glaciers. When we got in we saw a 3-d film that showed the things in Patagonia. It showed El Chalten and plants that are in Patagonia. It also showed ice falling off glaciers, and I really liked that part. We also saw pieces of ice falling down from Perito Moreno. In the Glaciarium we saw a writer called Perito Moreno, he got attacked by a puma in Patagonia.The Glacier Perito Moreno is named after the writer Perito Moreno.
Watching the glaciers here was fun and I really enjoyed the stay. We are now going North and I am as happy as a clown!
