Today, with its glaciers largely in retreat and only an area of 4,200 km 2 (1,600 sq mi), it is still the second largest continuous mass of ice outside of the polar regions. Its survival depends on its elevation (1,100 to 1,500 m (3,600 to 4,900 ft)), favorable terrain and a cool, moist, oceanic climate.
The ice mass feeds dozens of glaciers in the area, among which are the Upsala (765 km 2), Viedma (978 km 2) and Perito Moreno (258 km 2) in the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, and the Pío XI Glacier or Bruggen Glacier (1,265 km 2, the largest in area and longest in the southern hemisphere outside of Antarctica), O'Higgins (820 km 2 ...

The glacier originates in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. From 1945 to 1986, its terminus retreated 7 km (4.3 mi), being, along with the recession of the O'Higgins Glacier, the most dramatic retreat of the glaciers of the mentioned icefield during that period. [2] The glacier partially surrounds Reclus volcano and erodes the northern flank ...
