Castaño Overa Glacier, Mountain glacier in Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina.

The Castaño Overa Glacier flows down the slopes of Mount Tronador at an elevation of 1,900 meters, featuring deep blue crevasses and glacial formations.

The glacier has experienced substantial reduction in size over recent decades, serving as a critical indicator of climate change in the Southern Andes region.

Local mountain guides from AAGM lead expeditions to the glacier, sharing their knowledge of glacial formations and Patagonian ecosystems with visitors.

Access to the glacier requires a four-hour hike from Pampa Linda through forests and rocky terrain, with the Otto Meiling refuge serving as a base camp.

Visitors can traverse the glacier surface using specialized equipment while witnessing the contrast between white ice formations and dark mountain peaks.
