The Southern Ice Field has a surface area of 13,000 km2 and a length of 350
km. The immense ice mass is found in the highest peaks of the Andes Mountain, its size is equivalent to 6 times greater than that of the Belgium.

It has a length of 64 kilometers, and a face surface that measures 6 kilometers; its ice towers reach upwards to 75 meters in height. Without doubt the Amalia is a colossus of nature. While in this zone we will also visit the
