Polish Glacier, Glacial formation on Mount Aconcagua in Mendoza Province, Argentina.
The Polish Glacier extends across the eastern face of Mount Aconcagua at an altitude of 3,500 meters, covering a substantial portion of the mountain slope.
In 1934, an expedition led by Konstanty Jodko-Narkiewicz established the first alternative climbing route to Aconcagua's summit through this glacier.
The glacier serves as a testament to Polish mountaineering achievements in South America, marking their contribution to Andean exploration.
Climbing the glacier requires technical ice climbing equipment and advanced mountaineering skills, with access primarily available from November through March.
The glacier features three distinct climbing routes: the Traverse Route, Guanacos Route, and Direct Route, each presenting different technical challenges.
