Cerro Vinciguerra, Mountain summit in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

Cerro Vinciguerra rises to 1,470 meters above sea level in the eastern section of the Fuegian Andes, forming part of Sierra Vinciguerra mountain range.

The mountain received its name from Lieutenant Giacomo Bove in 1882, honoring zoologist Decio Vinciguerra during their scientific expedition aboard the Cabo de Hornos.

The summit serves as a research location for scientists studying glacial formations and climate patterns in the southernmost extension of the Andes mountain range.

Access to the western summit requires basic hiking equipment, while the eastern peak demands professional climbing gear for traversing the glacial terrain.

The mountain's drainage system supplies drinking water to Ushuaia through Arroyo Grande on its southern slope and feeds into Rio Olivia on the north.
