PERITO MORENO GLACIER, ARGENTINA - UNDATED: A large mass of ice pictured in the Lake Argentina, in Argentina. A WALL of ice the size of 35,000 football pitches stretches out as far as the eye can see. The Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park in southwest Santa Cruz, Argentina, covers an impressive 97 square miles - and is still growing. The glacier is a unique formation as it grows and ruptures every year giving the impression that the ice is alive. PHOTOGRAPH BY Jakub Polomski / Barcroft Media UK Office, London.

Participants managed to descend down to about 16 metres (52.4 feet) and reached the frozen surface of the base of the crater with a lake at least 10 metres (32.8 feet) deep below, according to Vladimir Pushkarev, head of the Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration. Experts, including geologists and historians, have not come to a consensus about the origin of the funnel yet, Russian media report. Picture taken November 9.
