Nef Glacier, Mountain glacier in Laguna San Rafael National Park, Chile
The Nef Glacier flows southeast from Cerro Largo to its terminus at a proglacial lake, covering 164 square kilometers of ice field.
Research studies conducted on Nef Glacier have documented significant changes in water levels and temperature patterns in the adjacent Nef Lake over time.
The glacier serves as a natural laboratory for scientists studying climate patterns and environmental changes in the Northern Patagonian Ice Field.
Visitors can access the glacier through Laguna San Rafael National Park, with the best viewing opportunities during clear weather conditions.
The terminal tongue of Nef Glacier displays a distinct pattern where half appears covered with debris while the other half remains clear ice.
