Marinelli Glacier, Tidewater glacier in Alberto de Agostini National Park, Chile

The Marinelli Glacier extends from the Cordillera Darwin mountain range to Ainsworth Bay, covering an area of 142 square kilometers in Tierra del Fuego.

Scientific observations since 1960 have documented a substantial retreat of 13 kilometers, with an average recession rate of 300 meters per year.

The glacier forms part of the diverse natural heritage within Alberto de Agostini National Park, connecting the mountains to the maritime environment.

Visitors can access the glacier through guided helicopter tours departing from Punta Arenas, with landings subject to weather conditions.

The glacier produces fresh water and sediment deposits into Ainsworth Bay, creating a dynamic ecosystem where ice meets ocean water.
