Chile The Pio XI Glacier
|
Chile The Pio XI Glacier is located in the North section of the Southern Ice Fields, at the end of the Eyre Inlet.
This glacier is the largest glacier in the southern hemisphere, with a surface of 1,242 kms that transforms it into a true colossal of ice. It front is approximately 6 kms wide, its ice towers reach higher than 75 meters and it has a length of 60 kms.
It is one of the few glaciers that are found in its maximum neo-glacial position. It has registered advances of up to 10 kilometers during recent years.
The antiquity of the Pio XI Glacier is millenary; it originates in the Southern Ice Fields and has a surface of 13,000 km2 and an extension over the Andes Mountains of more than 35 kilometers. Pio XI is one of the 48 glaciers that originates from this Ice Field. It is here that the M/N Skorpios III closes in on the glacier, navigating through the different sizes and shapes of ice floes, whose colorful ices of blue, light blue and white profoundly impress the visitor.
