Nice photos, but this Moreno is not the same who give his name to the beautiful glaciers. This is (or was...) Mariano Moreno, who died "accidentaly" in a travel going to London, the 4th march 1811.
Who gave the name to glaciars, was the Perito (Proficient) Francisco Moreno, who discovered those glaciers in the south of our country, among other stuff.
Thanks for make those beautiful photos of my City. I hope your enjoyed my country.
