[edit] Suggested move

I think most people refer to it just as the Moreno Glacier and I think the article should be moved to that title. What does anyone else think? Worldtraveller 00:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Argentinians at least call it el Perito Moreno, but I don't know about international usage. I don't think the article should be moved. It's not a specially complicated or over-long name. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 02:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I've only heard of this glacier referred to as Perito Moreno, in both English and Spanish. Other encyclopedias also refer to the glacier under this name; I see no reason to move. -- IlyaHaykinson 06:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] March 2006 rupture

I note that an anon contributor changed the article to note that there was a rupture in March 2006. While the same contributor also changed the Spanish language article, I couldn't find any sources for this. I don't really have any reason to doubt the authenticity of the event, but I urge any readers to find sources and add a reference to the article. -- IlyaHaykinson 06:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Found and added. -- IlyaHaykinson 20:29, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

It's known that last rupture was in march 2006. There are no photos at all because It happened at night. The article is pretty good. But there should be more images explaining how ruptures happen to be. Basically it's well explained. But I guess that it would be a bit complicated to understand for someone who haven't been there.
