Glaciarium is located in El Calafate. This is the first interpretation center on glaciers and their surroundings, as expected, is on the shores of Lake Argentino, in lands acquired from Anita stay.
The building of 2,500 m2, was inspired by a glacier morphology: the front is concrete peaks very near Perito Moreno. In art, architecture was in charge of research and Cordeyro Guiraldes.

Associated with Jorge Insua and Ignacio Jasminoy, including Argentine businessmen, the team is completed with the scientific direction of Pedro Skvarca, major local glaciologist.
