Southern Patagonian Ice Field (Chile & Argentina)

Описание: Unique footage of the giant ice field dividing the Southern Patagonia between Chile and Argentina.
This isolated area represents hundreds of kilometers of pristine landscape completely covered by glaciers and preserved unchanged since the Ice Age. The majestic Andes surrounding this frozen world maintain its unique climate for millennia.

The severity of the weather conditions makes it uninhabited and difficult to reach. To get there, you need to walk a hundred kilometers on foot, making your way through steep rocks and glacial crevasses.

The few days of good weather necessary for the expedition appear no more than once a month. The rest of the time snow storms rage over the ice field and freezing winds, blowing at speeds of over 100 km/h, cover everything with a deep layer of frost.

However, such a harsh climate gives this area a completely unique look. The mountains and volcanoes on the territory of the ice field are covered with frozen formations of indescribable beauty - a thick layer of frost applied to the rocks by hurricane winds forms ice structures shaped like giant mushrooms, and the entire surface is covered with crystals called angel wings.

A multi-day journey across the ice field plunges you into a kind of meditative state, dissolving in which you completely forget about the existence of the outside world with all its bustle. Once you get there on a quiet sunny day, you find yourself in a completely different reality, where there is only silence and a harmonious environment of surreal forms.
