The document describes the Perito Moreno Glacier located in Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina. It is one of the largest glaciers outside the polar regions and one of the few glaciers still growing. The glacier is 5 km wide, 30 km long, and 170 meters deep on average. It slowly advances about 700 meters per year, occasionally calving large ice chunks. Meltwater from the glacier feeds Lago Argentino, making it the third largest reserve of fresh water in the world. The glacier is one of Argentina's most famous natural attractions, drawing thousands of visitors each year and fueling the economy of nearby El Calafate.
