Glaciers & Alpine Lakes

This collection highlights the glacial landscapes and high-altitude lakes of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Centered around the Martial Mountains and Sierra Alvear range near Ushuaia, these sites feature turquoise meltwater basins and hanging glaciers. Notable locations include Laguna Esmeralda, fed by the Ojo del Albino glacier, and the expansive Lago Fagnano, which sits atop the Magallanes-Fagnano tectonic fault. These landmarks demonstrate the region's dramatic sub-antarctic geology and its vital role in the local watershed.
