Así es "El espíritu del viento del sur". Un viento que por siglos ha puesto a prueba a innumerables aventureros. Quienes fueron capaces de enfrentarlo, pudieron conocer parte de los misterios que aun encierra este hermoso rincón del planeta. La mayoría de los que embarcaron desde tierras lejanas no lo consiguieron, sin embargo, los vencedores tuvieron la oportunidad de dar a conocer al resto del mundo la belleza inhóspita de estos parajes y el coraje de los habitantes del llamado "fin del Mundo". Strong, fierce, unpredictable and inclement. These are just some words to describe “the spirit of the southern wind”. For centuries this wind has put innumerable adventurers to the test and only those capable of confronting the wind were able to learn a little about the mysteries that are still hidden in this beautiful corner of the planet. The majority of those explorers who set off from distant lands were unsuccessful in their attempts. -
First Ice Thickness Measurements in Tierra Del Fuego at Schiaparelli Glacier, Chile

Cordillera Darwin in Tierra del Fuego (Chile) remains one of the least studied glaciated regions in the world. However, this region being one of very few terrestrial sites at this latitude in the Southern Hemisphere has the potential to provide key information on the effect of climate variability and climate change on the cryosphere at sub-polar mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. Schiaparelli Glacier is located at the northern side of the Cordillera Darwin draining the north side of Monte Sarmiento (2187 m a.s.l.). Despite being one of the largest glaciers in the Cordillera Darwin, no previous in situ observation of its ice thickness had been made either at this glacier or at any other location in the Cordillera Darwin. Ice thickness is one of the fundamental parameters to understand glacier dynamics, constrain ice dynamical modelling, and predict glacier evolution. -

November 14-20, 2018 ©2018 Breathtaking Chile! Whether exploring wild Patagonia, watching a Puma hunting a herd of Guanaco against a backdrop of snow-capped spires, enjoying the fascinating antics of a raucous King Penguin colony in Tierra del Fuego, observing a pair of hulking Magellanic Woodpeckers or colorful friendly Tapaculos in a towering Southern Beech forest, or sipping fine wine in a comfortable lodge, this lovely, modern South American country is destined to captivate you! Hosteira Pehoe in Torres Del Paine National Park © Andrew Whittaker Wild Patagonia and Central Chile, Page 2 On this exciting new tour, we will experience the majestic scenery and abundant wildlife of Chile, widely regarded among the most beautiful countries in the world! From Santiago & Talca, in south- central Chile, to the famous Chilean Lake district, charming Chiloe Island to wild Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego in the far south, we will seek out all the special birds, mammals, and vivid landscapes for which the country is justly famous. Our visit is timed for the radiant southern spring when the weather is at its best, colorful blooming wildflowers abound, birds are outfitted in stunning breeding plumage & singing, and photographic opportunities are at their peak.

Cordillera Darwin in Tierra del Fuego (Chile) remains one of the least studied glaciated regions in the world. However, this region being one of very few terrestrial sites at this latitude in the Southern Hemisphere has the potential to provide key information on the effect of climate variability and climate change on the cryosphere at sub-polar mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere.

Ice thickness is one of the fundamental parameters to understand glaciers dynamics, constrain ice dynamical modelling and predict glacier evolution. In April 2016 we performed the first successful ice thickness measurements using terrestrial ground- penetrating radar in the ablation area of Glacier Schiaparelli (Gacitúa et al., 2020), https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.919331. 10 The measurements were made along a transect line perpendicular to the ice flow. -
