Monte Bove, Ice-capped summit in Cordillera Darwin, Chile.
Monte Bove is a summit in the Cordillera Darwin in southeastern Chile, rising to approximately 7,546 feet and carrying ice and snow year-round. The surrounding terrain consists of steep mountain ranges that form part of a larger chain system along this southern section of the Andes.
The summit was first reached in 1963 by an international mountaineering expedition. This ascent marked an important milestone in the exploration of this remote southern Chilean mountain region.
The mountain forms part of the Magallanes region, where local communities maintain connections with the mountainous landscapes through traditional activities.
Climbing requires advanced mountaineering skills, extensive preparation, and awareness of weather patterns in this southern region. Visitors should expect extreme cold, high winds, and rapidly changing atmospheric conditions.
Situated between this peak and Monte Roncagli is the smaller mountain Monte Ada, which forms part of a connected ridge system. This arrangement of three distinctive summits makes this section of the southern Andes geographically noteworthy.
