SOUTHERN PATAGONIAN ICE FIELD
The Southern Patagonian Ice Field (Campo de Hielo Patagónico Sur), located at the Southern Patagonic Andes between Chile and Argentina, is the world's second largest contiguous extrapolar ice field.[1] It is the biggest of two remnant parts of the Patagonian Ice Sheet, which covered all of southern Chile during the last glacial period, locally called the Llanquihue glaciation. This enormous ice mass feeds dozens of glaciers in the area, among which are The Pío XI Glacier (1,265 km2, the largest in area and longest in the southern hemisphere outside of Antarctica), O'Higgins (820 km2), Grey (270 km2) and Tyndall (331 km2) in Chile. The Upsala (765 km2), Viedma (978 km2) and Perito Moreno (258 km2) in the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina. You can see a part of this stunning Ice Field if you hike the O circuit with us! It is the prize view after John Garners mountain pass!
