Los Glaciares National
Park, a UNESCO world heritage site, is the second largest national
park in the country, housing a representative sample of the
Magellanic Subpolar Forest and western Patagonian Steppe biodiversity
in good state of conservation.
The park's name refers
to the giant ice cap in the Andes range, the largest outside of
Antarctica and Greenland. Due to the size of the ice cap, these
glaciers begin at only 1,500 m (4,900 ft), sliding down to
200 m (660 ft).
