Viedma Glacier, Glacier in Magellan and Chilean Antarctic Region, Chile and Argentina.

The Viedma Glacier extends for several kilometers across the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, with a terminus measuring two kilometers wide at Lake Viedma.

The glacier formation dates back to the last Ice Age, when massive ice sheets covered the region and shaped the current valleys of southern Patagonia.

The Viedma Glacier lies within both Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina and Bernardo O'Higgins National Park in Chile, reflecting shared natural heritage.

Guided tours access the glacier through established routes, with specialized equipment provided for safe navigation across the ice formations.

Dark parallel lines visible within the white mass indicate where debris-filled moraines intermix with newly formed glacial ice.
