This is without a doubt one of the biggest natural wonders of the world. I put Perito Moreno on par with the Grand Canyon as far as a place that just takes your breath away.
This large glacier is one of the few that is still advancing. You can see where a large chunk had just splashed into the lake below.

The Perito Moreno Glacier is a glacier located in the Los Glaciares National Park in the south west of Santa Cruz province, Argentina. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentine Patagonia.
The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation, and 30 km (19 mi) in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This icefield is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water.
