Viedma Glacier, Glacier in Magellan and Chilean Antarctic Region, Chile and Argentina.
The Viedma Glacier is a vast river of ice spanning the southern Patagonian landscape, flowing down to terminate at Lake Viedma. Its surface displays varied textures and crevasses formed by the continuous movement of the ice mass.
The glacier formed during the last Ice Age when massive ice sheets blanketed the region and carved out the valleys of southern Patagonia. After that period, the ice retreated significantly but left behind this persistent mass that continues to shape the landscape.
The Viedma Glacier lies within both Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina and Bernardo O'Higgins National Park in Chile, reflecting shared natural heritage.
Visitors can explore the ice across established access points with local guides providing specialized equipment for safe travel. The area remains accessible throughout the year, though conditions vary by season, so proper clothing and preparation are essential.
Dark parallel lines streak the white surface where debris-filled ridges mix with newly formed ice. These stripes tell the story of constant flow and successive layers that have accumulated over time.
