moreno glacier

� mountains are most beautiful when they are dotted with blue and white.

� all plants in Patagonia has small leaves and taste bitter so they won't be eaten by animals

� valley was cut off by glacier, so it's very smooth now.

� no trees in the semi desert because wind was too strong � trees only grew close to the mountains where they were well shielded but these trees were killed by the flood when the lake was flooded by glacier water.

Fact: glacier formation � when the bubbles trapped inside ice are compressed, they give the ice a deeper blue color (shorter wave length) � when the ice is less compressed, it has more bubbles, so it has white color � Ice itself has no color, it's only crystal

� The Glacier is 70m above, 100m under water, thickest part of the glacier is 700m

� From 1980 to 1988, a dam was formed between Lago Argentino and the lake below. When the dam collapsed, lake Argentino rose up 2 meter.
