Dickson Glacier, Glacier in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

The Dickson Glacier extends over 71 square kilometers and reaches a length of 10 kilometers in the southeastern section of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.

The adjacent Dickson Lake transformed into an international water body in 1998 due to the glacier's retreat, leading to a border agreement between Chile and Argentina.

The Dickson Valley serves as a gateway for adventurers exploring the northern sections of Torres del Paine National Park through hiking and mountain biking activities.

The glacier maintains an elevation of 420 meters and can be accessed through various trails that connect to both the Full Circuit and camping facilities.

Only five percent of Torres del Paine visitors reach this northern section, making it a less frequented area compared to the popular W Circuit route.

Elevation above the sea: 420 m

GPS coordinates: -50.78333,-73.15000
