It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentine Patagonia. The 250km2 ice formation, 30 km in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile which has a small part of the origins of the glacier. This ice field is the world’s third largest reserve of fresh water.
