Los Glaciares National Park (Cerro Torre) - Patagonia 20240206
Los Glaciares National Park is located in the southwest of the province of Santa Cruz, has an area of 726,927 hectares and was created to preserve an extensive area of continental ice and glaciers, the southern Andean-Patagonian forest and samples of the Patagonian steppe. It is the most extensive of the National System of Argentine Protected Areas.
In 1937, through Decree No. 105,433, the status of Reserves for the subsequent creation of National Parks was established for different territories in Andean Patagonia. One of these territories was the Glacier Reserve. In September 1942, the Goverment, by Decree No. 129,433, expanded the coastal margin of the Reserve on the Canal de los Témpanos and the north coast of Lake Rico.
Years later, in April 1945, Decree Law No. 9504, ratified by Law No. 13,895, declared several reserves National Parks, including Los Glaciares Reserve, which, from that moment on, assumed the category of Park National.
