Giant blocks of ice sheered off a wall of Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier, collapsing with a roar into a Patagonian lake — a spectacle not seen in 16 years.

The news report I saw made it sound like this had never happened before and that the glacier was now destroyed.

Must be global warming -- just like 16 years ago.

From waht I saw, a river of water was coming out from under the glacier (like a tunnel) and all of a sudden a good portion of the tunnel fell away.

Tourists were right up on the edge.

I'll try to find the video tomorrow and post it here.
