Chunks of Perito Moreno Glacier Collapsed

What's happening now?

For the first time during the southern hemisphere winter, part of Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier collapsed on Wednesday. Park wardens said global warming might be responsible.

The Patagonian glacier known as the "White Giant" is one of Argentina's biggest attractions. The river of ice 30 km long ends in a sheer wall blocking Lago Argentino where large pieces tumble into the water.
