The highest peak of the park. Its characteristic, pointed shape has always attracted climbers from all over the world.
Monte Fitz Roy is a mountain in Patagonia, on the border between Argentina and Chile. It is located in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, near El Chaltén village and Viedma Lake. It was first climbed in 1952 by French alpinists Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone.

Also on Lake Argentino, the largest glacier in the park. It is approached by boats, but its "wall" is less attractive than that of Perito Moreno. The boat tour is still worth it, because you get very close to the glacier and the icebergs that have separated from it. The landscape partly resembles that of Antarctica. The starting point for the hike to the viewpoint at Refugio Upsala can also be reached by boat.
Probably the best known in the park. It is a geographical exception because it divides an arm of Lake Argentino into two parts. If the water level in the upper arm is high enough, the glacier bursts with a deafening roar. This spectacle occurs roughly every 4 to 10 years and never lasts more than 2 or 3 days.
