The land of glaciers is a world of natural beauty comprising 34 glaciers and declared a National Heritage site by UNESCO. El Parque Nacional Los Glaciares covers over 600,000 hectares of eternal snow and ice and has been advancing over the area since the beginning of history. The Perito Moreno Glacier is an imposing river of ice which descends from the continental ice-fields to Canal de los Tempanos. This living glacier is a rarity amongst the glaciers of the world and is slowly advancing at a pace of 100 metres per year. For more information see International Features episode # 41.
