Seco Glacier

Seco Glacier extends across the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, forming part of Los Glaciares National Park with its white ice formations and steep surfaces.

The glacier became a subject of scientific interest in the late 19th century when Francisco Moreno conducted expeditions through the Patagonian region.

The glacier serves as an educational site where researchers study climate patterns and document changes in ice mass throughout different seasons.

Visitors reach the glacier through guided expeditions from El Calafate, requiring specialized equipment and proper physical preparation for the trek.

The glacier functions as a natural water reservoir, releasing meltwater that sustains the rivers and lakes of Santa Cruz Province throughout the year.
