Patagonia

The glacier is located in the Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentinian Patagonia.

The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation, 30 km (19 mi) in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This ice field is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water.

The Perito Moreno Glacier, located 78 kilometres (48 mi) from El Calafate, was named after the explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 19th century and played a major role in defending the territory of Argentina in the conflict surrounding the international border dispute with Chile

Despite that most of the innumerable glaciers worldwide are retreating as a result of global warming and climate change, one of the few unusual glaciers that maintains a state of equilibrium is the Perito Moreno glacier because it continues to accumulate mass at a rate similar to that of its loss.

Having unpredictable weather in Patagonia, especially with strong winds, we were lucky enough to have a really calm morning. Looking at blue water and mountain reflections, I felt getting into a dreamland.

Volcán Lanín is landmark stratovolcano straddling the Chile-Argentina border, featuring a conical, ice-capped peak.

I recently had the opportunity to spend 3 weeks driving through the south of Chile in the Chilean Patagonia. The travel started in Puerto Montt (Región de los Lagos) and finished in Villa O'higgins (Aysen) the south most point of the famous and amazing Carretera Austral. This photo is the first one of the series I will publish from this travel. I hope you like them.

I took this photo near Puerto Montt, about 70 km south and after crossing the fiord from Caleta La Arena to Caleta Puelche in the boat (barcaza). The day was finishing and we had the opportunity to stop in this beach and take some photos of the sunset. This was the first day and it promised good opportunities for nice landscapes and photos.

El Chalten, Argentina

The Road of the Seven Lakes is the popular name given to the scenic portion of national route 40 between the towns of San Martín de los Andes and Villa La Angostura in the Neuquén Province, in Patagonia Argentina

Localidad fundada en 1985 a los pies del cerro Chaltén.

San Carlos de Bariloche es una de las localidades turísticas más conocidas de Argentina. Se encuentra en la ribera sur del enorme lago Nahuel Huapi.

The Carretera Austral (CH-7, in english: Southern Way) is the name given to Chile's Route 7. The highway runs south for about 1,240 kilometers (770 mi) from Puerto Montt to Villa O'Higgins, passing through rural Patagonia.[1]

This area is characterized by thick forests, fjords, glaciers, canals and steep mountains.

Carretera Austral provides road access to Chile's Aysén Region and southern parts of Los Lagos Region. These areas are sparsely populated and despite its length, Carretera Austral provides access to only about 100,000 people. The largest city along the entire road is Coyhaique with a population of 44,850

El Calafate, Argentina

Nahuel Huapi lake, located within the Nahuel Huapi National Park, has a surface of 529 km2 (204 sq mi), rests 2,510 feet (770 m) above the sea level, and has a maximum measured depth (as of 2007) of 1,437 feet (438 m).

The lake depression consists of several glacial valleys carved out along faults and Miocene valleys that were later dammed by moraines.

It is connected to other smaller lakes such as Gutiérrez, Moreno, Espejo and Correntoso. The deep-blue waters hold a number of islands, most notably Isla Victoria with an area of 31 km², and Isla Huemul.

A curious fact about the lake is that, despite being nowhere near any ocean and being at high altitude, it is also home for kelp gull and the blue eyed cormorant (Phalacrocorax atriceps), otherwise strictly marine birds.

The lake’s crystal clear waters are very susceptible to climate changes and have an average surface temperature of 45 °F (7 °C); this makes it both beautiful and treacherous.

Tras una extenuante excursión para subir hasta la base del Chaltén (más conocido como Fitz Roy) la visibilidad era nula y el chasco enorme. La laguna de los Tres recibe este nombre en honor a los tres montañeros franceses que por primera vez escalaron el Fitz Roy en 1952.
