Glaciar Exploradores, Ice field in Aysén Region, Chile
The Exploradores Glacier extends across 95 square kilometers on the northeastern slope of Monte San Valentín, reaching a length of 20.3 kilometers.
Research activities conducted between 2003 and 2005 provided essential data about the geological composition and movement patterns of the Exploradores Glacier.
The Exploradores Glacier stands as a natural laboratory for scientists studying climate patterns and glacial behavior in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
Visitors need specialized equipment, including crampons and thermal gear, for guided tours that typically operate from October through February.
In October 2023, authorities closed hiking routes after a substantial ice mass detachment, leading to modifications in regional tourism activities.
