Southern Patagonian Ice Field
The Southern Patagonian Ice Field (), located at the Southern Patagonic Andes between Chile and Argentina, is the world's second largest contiguous extrapolar ice field. It is the bigger of two remnant parts of the Patagonian Ice Sheet, which covered all of southern Chile during the last glacial period, locally called the Llanquihue glaciation. Geography The Southern Patagonian Ice Field extends from parallels 48° 15′ S to 51° 30′ S for approximately , and has an approximate area of , of which belong to Chile and belong to Argentina. The ice mass feeds dozens of glaciers in the area, among which are the Upsala (), Viedma () and Perito Moreno () in the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, and the Pío XI Glacier or Bruggen Glacier (, the largest in area and longest in the southern hemisphere outside of Antarctica), O'Higgins (), Grey () and Tyndall () in Chile.

Mountains Of Argentina
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains t ...

Cerro Mayo (Patagonia)
Cerro Mayo or de Mayo is a mountain in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. It is part of Los Glaciares National Park. Nearby is the Mayo Glacier, which is accessible from the Mayo Bay of Lake Argentino and the Cerro Negro. Chilean cartography considered this mountain to be the true Cerro Stokes, the mountain first sighted by the Fitz Roy expedition and by the surveyors of both countries in the early 20th century (who considered Cerro Cervantes to be Stokes), and it was regarded as a border landmark until the 1998 agreement. Its geographical location has varied on maps over time. History After the signing of the 1881 Treaty between Argentina and Chile, the boundary in the area was defined in 1898 by the boundary surveyors, Francisco Pascasio Moreno from Argentina and Diego Barros Arana from Chile. Huemul was declared a border landmark. The surveyors had no differences in the area between Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Stokes, unlike other ter ...

Cerro Torre
Cerro Torre is one of the mountains of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in South America. It is located on the border dividing Argentina and Chile, west of Fitz Roy (also known as Cerro Chaltén). At , the peak is the highest of a four mountain chain: the other peaks are Torre Egger (), Punta Herron, and Cerro Standhardt. The top of the mountain often has a mushroom of rime ice, formed by the constant strong winds, increasing the difficulty of reaching the actual summit. First ascent Cesare Maestri claimed in 1959 that he and Toni Egger had reached the summit and that Egger had been swept to his death by an avalanche while they were descending. Maestri declared that Egger had the camera with the pictures of the summit, but this camera was never found. Inconsistencies in Maestri's account, and the lack of bolts, pitons or fixed ropes on the route, have led most mountaineers to doubt Maestri's claim. In 2005, Ermanno Salvaterra, Rolando Garibotti and Alessandro Beltrami, after ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1902 Arbitral Award Of The Andes Between Argentina And Chile
The 1902 Arbitral award of the Andes between Argentina and Chile () was a British arbitration in 1902 that established the present-day boundaries between Argentina and Chile. In northern and central Patagonia, the borders were established between the latitudes of 40° and 52° S as an interpretation of the Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina. As result of the arbitration, some Patagonian lakes, such as O'Higgins/San Martín Lake, became divided by a national boundary. Additionally the preferences of settled colonists in a cultivated part of the area in dispute had been canvassed. The boundary proposed in the arbitration was a compromise between the boundary preferences of the two disputing governments, which strictly followed neither the alignment of highest peaks nor the fluvial watershed, and was published in the name of King Edward VII.
