Glaciers in Argentina - level 2
The White Giant is one of Argentina’s biggest tourist attractions. It is a 29-kilometer long river of ice. It is home to more than 200 glaciers, and it is the largest continental ice extension in the world after Antarctica.
There is a glacier which sheds ice about every four years, and large numbers of people come to watch the show.
Around 4 thousand people recently watched the roof of an ice tunnel fall. It was quite something.
Difficult words: glacier (a big piece of ice that is floating in water), extension (the area with the ice), shed (to let fall off).
