Los Glaciares National Park (Parque Nacional Los Glaciares) Overview

Los Glaciares National Park is the second largest in Argentina and runs for 170km (106 miles) along the border with Chile; it is characterized by rugged mountains and clear lakes. Some 40 per cent of the Park's 6600 sq km (2548 sq miles) is covered by vast ice fields that hold 47 major glaciers. The largest glacier is Upsala, but the most popular is the mighty Moreno glacier, where massive chunks of ice shear off and fall into Lago Argentino, the largest lake in Argentina, to form icebergs. Visitors can view the advancing Moreno glacier from catwalks and platforms.
