Glaciar de los Argentinos

The Glaciar de los Argentinos extends across the northeastern slope of Mount Pissis at an elevation of 4,600 meters in the Atacama Andes range.

Multiple expeditions in the late 20th century explored this glacier, leading to its naming as 'de los Argentinos' while the southern glacier became 'de los Italians'.

The glacier serves as a crucial water source for local communities and contributes to the preservation of Argentina's natural water reserves.

The Argentine route follows the entire length of the glacier, connecting to the Mar del Plata base camp at 4,600 meters altitude.

This ice formation features a small serac barrier and a crevasse field at its lower section, with a notable narrowing at 5,100 meters.
