Glaciar Universidad, Mountain glacier in O'Higgins Region, Chile.
Glaciar Universidad extends across 12 kilometers at elevations between 2463 and 4478 meters, creating a substantial ice mass in central Chile's Andes mountains.
From 1955 to 2000, the glacier's ice mass underwent elevation changes of approximately 0.47 meters annually, indicating notable environmental transformations.
The Universidad glacier serves as a research site for the University of O'Higgins, contributing to scientific understanding of water resources in Chile.
Access to the glacier requires coordination with local operators through social media platform Instagram at @glaciaresdecolchagua for guided tour reservations.
The glacier divides into two basins that merge at 2900 meters altitude, forming a defined tongue below this convergence point.
