Glaciar Ojo del Albino, Mountain glacier in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.
The Ojo del Albino Glacier extends across 86 hectares within the Sierra Alvear mountains, featuring a lake filled with floating ice blocks and a frontal moraine.
In 1989, Ushuaia trekking guide Gustavo Giorgis named the glacier Ojo del Albino due to the milky white color and round shape of its lake.
The glacier serves as a destination for mountaineers and nature enthusiasts who trek through Tierra del Fuego's diverse mountain landscapes and ecosystems.
The full-day excursion spans 18 kilometers with an elevation gain of 810 meters, requiring waterproof hiking boots and appropriate cold weather equipment.
The glacier contributes water to Laguna Esmeralda, though evidence indicates its primary drainage once flowed toward the parallel Beban Valley decades ago.
