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 name honours Giacomo Bove, an Italian navy lieutenant who led a scientific expedition to southern Patagonia in 1882 aboard the ship Cabo de Hornos. The first ascent, in 1963, was filmed by John Earle for the documentary "Mountains of Glass".

The two recorded routes reach the summit via the Holanda (or Francés) glacier and the Chico glacier, both on the flanks of a granite peak ringed by the Francés, Italia and Roncagli summits. The summit sits on the boundary between Alberto de Agostini and Yendegaia national parks, so all approaches cross protected land. On clear days the ice-capped top is visible from Ushuaia, across the Beagle Channel.
