A general view of the leading edge of Perito Moreno glacier in the southern Patagonia region near El Calafate, January 3, 2009. While most of the world's glaciers are melting away because of warmer temperatures, scientists say the Perito Moreno ice field, known as "The White Giant", is gaining as much as 3 meters (10 feet) a day in some parts, pushed forward by heavy snowfalls in the Patagonia region. Picture taken January 3.
