Cerro Vinciguerra

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

Cerro Vinciguerra is the highest summit of the Argentine sector of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, rising to 1,506 metres in the Sierra Vinciguerra, between the Alvear and Martial ranges. It has two summits: the lower western one is reached on foot, while the higher eastern one requires rope and a glacier crossing. It lies within Tierra del Fuego National Park, next to the Colgante glacier.

The peak was named in 1882 by Lieutenant Giacomo Bove to honor zoologist Decio Vinciguerra during a scientific expedition. The naming occurred when European explorers were systematically documenting the geography of southern Patagonia.

The name honours Decio Vinciguerra, the Italian zoologist who accompanied Giacomo Bove's 1882 scientific expedition to southern Patagonia aboard the ship "Cabo de Hornos"; Bove himself named the mount. Nearby, the trekking route to the Vinciguerra glacier and the Laguna de los Témpanos draws walkers from Ushuaia, though that area lies outside the national park and is a Ramsar site.

The mountain has two summits: the lower western one is reached on foot without rope techniques, while the higher eastern one requires belaying equipment and a glacier crossing. It lies in the Reserva Natural Silvestre area of Tierra del Fuego National Park, and the approach is made from its base or from a neighbouring summit.

The peak's water drainage system feeds drinking water into Ushuaia through Arroyo Grande on its southern slope. The northern side contributes to Rio Olivia, meaning this mountain quietly supplies water to multiple communities in the southernmost city.
