A cold wind from the glacier meets you on the boat before you even see the ice.

Los Glaciares National Park preserves landscapes shaped over millennia by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field; the glacier has been studied as an active example of surge and calving dynamics.
Visitors must follow park rules to minimize impact: stay on designated trails, avoid leaving waste, and respect quiet zones to protect bird and mammal habitat.
