A trip to Patagonia in Argentina isn't complete without a visit to Perito Moreno Glacier where lucky tourists can witness huge chunks of ice crashing into the water below.

This footage shows several recent ice-carving moments and the excited reaction from crowds of spectators.

'A trip to Argentina is incomplete without a visit to the Los Glaciares National Park, the home of the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier.

This stupendous footage features an up-close look at a decent-sized chunk of ice separating from the said glacier and dissolving into the lake below.

Accompanying the massive block are several tiny ice nuggets, which makes the scene look like a frozen waterfall for a bit.

The filmer commented: "Finally, after several attempts, I was able to record this glacier detachment in all its glory. Enjoy!"

'Large crowds gathered to witness a breathtaking ice calving event impacting the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina.

Remarkable footage filmed by Mack Moyer shows an enormous part of the said glacier breaking off and falling into the water, causing it to splash upward, much to the spectators' awe.

"This was taken at Los Glaciares National Park (Patagonia)," Mack stated. "It clearly shows a large chunk of ice detaching from the Perito Moreno Glacier."

It doesn't need to be said that the glacier in question is touted as one of the most notable tourist hotspots in South America. It was named after Francisco Moreno, an explorer who took a special interest in finding out more about the location back in the 1800s.

This awe-inspiring clip was recorded on March 12, 2018.

'The mind-blowing scene featuring a glacier calving event was caught on camera by a tourist.

This jaw-dropping video shows part of the immensely famous Perito Moreno Glacier falling into the lake, causing the ice-cold water to splash upward, several hundred feet in the air.

"We were so lucky that we got to witness this gigantic ice block collapse," the filmer told us. "This was taken in southwest Santa Cruz Province, Argentina."

Watching the 30 KM long and 5 KM wide ice formation rupture is undoubtedly a sight to behold and one that travel lovers should strive to witness live at least once.
