Viedma Glacier Photos from Space

Beautiful scenery depicting the landscape of the earth often photographed from space. Similarly, to see the beauty of mountain glaciers, one of which is a glacier on Mount Viedma, Argentina.

As quoted by the Daily Mail, Viedma glacier photographs are taken by the crew at the International Space Station (ISS). This photo was taken from
height about 200 miles or 320 km above the Earth's surface.

This glacier is part of the Patagonia ice field, the largest collection of ice in the southern Hemisphere, and covers 35 thousand square kilometers.

Glaciers are constantly moving while collecting rock and soil, which produces gray. During this time, the glaciers are also known to have many loopholes in, which according to experts is formed due to the rapid movement of ice in the middle and slower on the side.

In the figure, this gap in a similar form lines parallel to the direction of motion of glaciers. When glaciers reach the lake, the ice flow was split, resulting in chunks of ice floating on the water surface.
