Exploradores Glacier

Exploradores Glacier is a glacier located in the Aysén Region on the northeastern slope of Monte San Valentín. The ice mass sprawls across the mountainside with multiple tongues descending through the valleys.

The glacier has undergone significant retreat and transformation in recent decades as part of broader changes in Patagonian ice fields. These shifts have reshaped access to the area and altered the landscape around it.

The glacier serves as a focal point for scientific research, drawing experts who study glaciological patterns and environmental transformations in Patagonia.

The best visiting window is between October and March when conditions are most favorable for travel. Access requires proper preparation and gear suited to high-altitude mountain weather and unpredictable conditions.

The glacier features moraines containing accumulated rocks and sediments that document its movement patterns through the mountainous terrain.
