These huge landscapes of\u00a0ice give you a sense of the formation of the earth and the sheer power of nature.

You can also see icebergs in a shade of blue\u00a0so intense that it seems unreal, and stop on a shore\u00a0where delicate ice formations, remnants of the icebergs, bob around like swans.<\/p>\n<p>Upsala Glacier, Lago Argentino, Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina (Konrad Wothe\/Robert Harding)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/index.php?lang=en&amp;page=preview&amp;subpage=1113-84330\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5200 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1113-84330.jpg\" alt=\"Upsala Glacier, Lago Argentino, Los Glaciares Nationalpark, Argentina\" width=\"480\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1113-84330.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1113-84330-366x245.jpg 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Leave another day to view Perito Moreno glacier, where huge chunks of ice crack and fall dramatically into the lake below.

A 20 hour bus ride, or a two hour flight from Buenos Aires will take you across\u00a0endless flat pampas\u00a0to Puerto Madryn, a perfect base for visiting the reserve. The star attractions are the southern right whales that jump and frolic off the coast of Puerto Pir\u00e1mides between June and mid-December,\u00a0when you can take one of the\u00a0regular boat trips from the tiny port.
