Ventisquero negro, Dark glacier at Mount Tronador base in Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina
The Ventisquero Negro extends along the lower slopes of Mount Tronador, displaying its characteristic dark brown color from accumulated sediments and rocks.
The first documented exploration of the Mount Tronador area, including its glaciers, occurred in 1934 when Hermann Claussen completed the initial recorded ascent.
Scientists regularly study this glacier to understand climate patterns and environmental changes in the Southern Andes mountain range of Patagonia.
Visitors reach the glacier through guided tours from Bariloche, following marked trails that lead to observation points near the ice formation.
The glacier produces dark icebergs that break off and float in the adjacent lagoon, revealing pure white ice when they crack open.
