Southern Patagonian Ice Field, Glacier field in Magellan and Chilean Antarctic Region, Chile and Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
The Southern Patagonian Ice Field spans 13,000 square kilometers across the Andes mountains, featuring 49 major glaciers flowing into fjords and lakes.
In 1881, Chile and Argentina signed a boundary treaty that established territorial limits, though certain sections of the ice field remain undefined between both nations.
The Tehuelche and Kaweskar indigenous peoples incorporated the ice formations into their traditional worldviews and navigation patterns across the region.
Access points to the ice field include Torres del Paine National Park in Chile and Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, with research stations monitoring glacial changes.
This continental ice mass ranks as the largest non-polar ice field accessible by land and the third-largest ice concentration after Antarctica and Greenland.
