Amalia Glacier, Tidewater glacier in Última Esperanza Province, Chile.

Amalia Glacier spans three kilometers in width and extends twenty-one kilometers from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field to the Sarmiento Channel.

Between 1945 and 1986, the glacier terminus experienced a significant withdrawal of seven kilometers, marking substantial changes in its configuration.

The glacier forms part of Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, where visitors witness the natural processes of ice formation and environmental transformation.

Travelers can reach the glacier through boat excursions that navigate the waters of Chilean Patagonia, offering views of the ice formations.

The glacier encircles and continuously shapes Reclus Volcano, creating a rare example of glacial erosion on volcanic terrain.
