Zona de Endicamiento

Zona de Endicamiento
A thin waterway is all that connects the distant lake, Brazo Rico, with the Canal de los Tempanos (Canal of Noises) in front of the glacier. Every several years, the glacier advances to completely covered this waterway. When that happens, the Brazo Rico rises and the pressure against the ice builds until it crashes through in an enormous explosion. This cycle last completed in 1988.
