Bernardo Glacier, Glacier in Aysén Region, Chile
Bernardo Glacier extends over 536 square kilometers within Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, flowing westward into the Bernardo Fjord through mountainous terrain.
The glacier formed during the last Ice Age has continuously shaped the regional landscape, creating deep valleys and fjords through millennia of glacial movement.
The native Mapuche people established communities near the glacier, utilizing the water resources and developing traditional practices adapted to the cold environment.
Access to Bernardo Glacier requires advance planning and boat transportation through the fjords, with guided tours available from local operators in the Aysén Region.
The glacier's terminus forms a large lake at coordinates 48°39′S 73°50′W, where chunks of ice regularly break off into the water.
