Info from Licensor: "During a navigation on Lake Argentino, on the north face of the Perito Moreno glacier (seventh largest glacier in the world), located in Argentine Patagonia in the province of Santa Cruz, I witnessed how a submerged ice floe of enormous size emerged, generating the visual effect seen in the video. This happens because a submerged part of the base of the glacier broke off. The dark color of the ice block is due to the sediment of the earth, which was dragged during its approximately 500 years of existence. Applause, shouts, and exclamations were the reactions of the other people present during the navigation. This iceberg that was generated will continue to be exposed and adrift in Lake Argentino."
