Spegazzini Glacier, Mountainous glacier in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina

The Spegazzini Glacier extends 25 kilometers across the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, reaching heights of 135 meters at its front wall.

The glacier received its name from Italian botanist Carlo Luigi Spegazzini, who conducted extensive research on Patagonian flora during the late 1800s.

The glacier stands as a natural border between Argentina and Chile, protected by both Los Glaciares and Bernardo O'Higgins National Parks.

Visitors can reach the glacier through boat tours departing from Puerto Bandera, navigating through the northern arm of Lake Argentino.

The Spegazzini Glacier maintains its mass without showing signs of retreat, making it different from other large glaciers in the region.
