Darwin Mountain Range, Chile

Darwin Mountain Range Chile
DARWIN MOUNTAIN RANGE

To access the ice field called the Darwin Mountain Range, a vessel must be able to sail inside fjords as long as 25 miles and as narrow as 600 meters (2,000 feet). Once you approach the ice field, you can see some of the most beautiful landscape in Patagonia: a combination of snowy peaks (the southernmost of the Andes), magellanic forests of beech and monkey puzzle trees, and canyons formed when the glaciers retreated more than 13,000 years ago. Gorgeous cascades release water from the glaciers, giving the limited audience an incomparable show of nature.
