Onelli Glacier, Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina

The Onelli Glacier extends through the Patagonian Andes mountains, releasing its meltwater into Onelli Bay of Lake Argentino at coordinates -50.120556, -73.428611.

Italian scientist Clemente Onelli, who immigrated to Argentina in 1889 and worked with Francisco Moreno at Museo de La Plata, gave his name to this glacier.

The glacier serves as a natural laboratory for scientists studying climate patterns and geological formations in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.

Visitors can reach the glacier by taking a boat from Punta Bandera across Lake Argentino, with tours operating during favorable weather conditions.

The Bolado Glacier, once connected to Onelli Glacier as its tributary, has separated due to the continuous retreat of both ice formations.

Location: Lago Argentino Department

GPS coordinates: -50.12056,-73.42861
