In this image I see a wide region of natural beauty at each glancing turn. Ice covers almost all the area and it borders water.
In order to better understand this photograph, I need to know that Perito Moreno Glacier covers more than 250 km2 and 30 km in total. The glacier is among the Petagonian glaciers which are not reducing in size but rather it is on the verge of increasing in size. Besides, the glacier borders Chile (Leon 1).

I think the photographer is trying to say that Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the worlds major tourist attraction site that is defined by unique beauty as well as wonder.
I think that this photograph is effective because besides depicting beauty as well as wonder, it also has some cultural meaning in that it marks a territory which was used in defending the Argentina land during its dispute with Chile.
Here’s what I discovered and where I found my information: From a survey conducted by the seven wonders of the world agency, I discovered that the greatest depth of the glacier is 2,297 feet which are 700m (Dante 1). According to AARP real possibilities, the glacier is about 30 kilometres in length (AARP Real Possibilities 1).
My statement expressing my understanding of the relationship between the photograph and environmental attitudes and/or behaviour:
This photograph is important because it is one of the notable environmental wonders of the world. This region which is found in Los Glaciares National Park, southwest part of Santa Cruz, Argentina is known for rupture of the ice, growing glacier, impressive scale, one of the freshwater reserve, and therefore tourist site. In line with this, the region has a cultural aspect owing to the fact that Francisco Moreno an explorer was in the site while defending the countries territory from its dispute with Chile. As such, it marks some political as well as peace aspects since it was used to mark the end of the dispute between the two nations. This indicates a determined as well as the harmonious culture of the people of Argentina.
5. Your written paragraph reflection about how the process of analysing this photograph has influenced your awareness of the Perito Moreno Glacier and related environmental issues as well as your attitudes, beliefs, and actions.
The process of analysing the Perito Moreno Glacier photograph has significantly improved my understanding of this heritage site. For instance, while analysing the photograph, I found out that the name of the glacier is coined from Francisco Moreno, who was a notable explorer of Argentina. The explorer played a crucial role in studying the site during the time when there was a border conflict between Argentina and its neighbouring country Chile. As such, I have realised that the site as has a cultural influence since it depicts a region where the nation managed to win the dispute and therefore protect its territory. As an environmental area, Perito Moreno Glacier is a large area of ice which apparently borders fresh water. The glacier takes position three as far as largest freshwater reserves are concerned (Leon 1). The area has been believed to provide aesthetic value due to its artistic nature. Thousands of tourists visit the site for recreation and to calm themselves by looking at the beautiful and wondrous site. Due to this people visit the area with a positive attitude to gain emotional calmness and inner peace. Many believe that the site helps them relieve inner stress.
