✨The awe-inspiring 200,000-year-old glacier spectacle is within your reach!✨
💙【Breathtaking On-site Experience】More thrilling and apocalyptic than “The Wandering Earth”
Every three minutes, the Antarctic blue ice cracks with a thunderous roar! Witness a 170-meter-high ice wall crashing into Lake Argentina, an event more shocking than the collapse of a building during the Thai earthquake.

When I first saw it in 2016, the glacier tongue was even more magnificent. Now, the melting speed is visible to the naked eye. I highly recommend visiting sooner rather than later!
✈️【Money-saving Full Guide】
▫️Visa: US visa + Argentine e-visa
▫️Flights: Beijing → Buenos Aires (transit via Ethiopia/Qatar) 💰6k+; then fly to El Calafate (3h) 💰1k+
▫️Accommodation: Homestay in the charming town of El Calafate 💰200+/night, with a recommended lake view room at Cauquenes de Nimez
❄️【Must-Do List for Argentine Glaciers】
✅Top 3 Must-Dos:
1️⃣Mini Trekking (4h): Walk on 200,000-year-old blue ice with crampons, guided by experts who will carve ice cups and serve whiskey on site 🥃(book 1 month in advance on the official website)
2️⃣Boat Tour: Get up close to the 170-meter ice wall as it collapses, with tickets 50% cheaper than similar tours in Iceland!

3️⃣Boardwalk Observation Deck: Explore 5 free trails to capture the panoramic view of the glacier, with the best light at 8 am
▫️Gear: A waterproof jacket and hiking shoes are essential! The ice reflection is three times stronger than snow, so choose UV400+ sunglasses
▫️Weather: Experience all four seasons in one hour!

Layered clothing is a must (I’ve seen snow in June and heavy rain in July)
▫️Photography: Bring a wide-angle lens and an action camera, and use burst mode to capture the dramatic ice collapses
📸【Photo Hotspots】
▪️Ice Cave Exploration: Enter a blue dome that feels like an alien world (exclusive to Big Ice groups)
▪️Balcones Norte Observation Deck: The perfect spot for glacier selfies
▪️Sunset Boardwalk: Watch as the sunset turns the ice walls into a stunning display of pink and gold
💡【Fun Facts】
The glacier grows 2 meters per day!

The bottom 100 meters of the ice wall is underwater, and its collapse can trigger a small tsunami. Want to hear the ice cracking? Press your ear to the ground, and you’ll hear it 10 times clearer than recording with a phone!
Glaciers may disappear, but memories last forever.
✨Before the glacier tongue retreats to the mountain top, go and witness the most magnificent blue heartbeat of this planet!
