Is Perito Moreno Ice Bridge Rupture happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~February. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Perito Moreno periodically advances to form an ice bridge across the Brazo Rico channel, blocking water flow and creating a proglacial lake.
When water pressure and melting breach the ice bridge a dramatic rupture and large icefalls occur, producing loud collapses and icebergs in the channel.
