You enter through a dark corridor, guided by the pleasant sound of water dripping down from the melting ice. Then the surprise begins as the ice panels begin to speak of the formation of the ice, the story of explorers and scientists. Pictures of great Argentinean photographers such as Florian Von der Flecht, Daniel Wagner, and Andrés Bonetti catch your eye and help your imagination. First the beginning of the universe, the glacial periods. Further down is a large model of the ice field, the origin of the glacial period that you will see during your visit to the area. Interactive screens allow you to view, for example, the recoil of the Upsala glacier. An important tribute to the great Francisco Pascasio Moreno makes it seem as though he is there inspiring us with his enthusiasm for the Argentinean landscapes. Also part of the visit is a unique connection with the Perito Moreno Glacier, which forms a natural dam that then collapses with a great break. The tour ends in a tunnel with an interesting system of simultaneous projections that awakens your senses.
