Queulat Glaciers, Glacier formation in Aysen Region, Chile
The Queulat Glaciers display massive walls of blue ice that cascade down steep mountain cliffs into the Tempanos Lagoon below.
Captain Enrique Simpson documented in 1875 that the glacier extended near the sea, but it has since retreated 7,800 meters inland.
The name originates from the Chonos indigenous people's language, referring to the constant sound of waterfalls in the surrounding area.
Visitors can observe the glacier from designated viewpoints along the Carretera Austral highway or take hiking trails for closer perspectives.
The glacier maintains its presence throughout the year despite the temperate rainforest climate, creating a rare ecological intersection.
