Glaciarium Museum

The museum is a first-of-its-kind “Museo de Hielo Patagonico,” (Patagonia Ice Museum) placing the Patagonian ice sheets in natural and historical perspective, in state-of-the-art facilities on a hilltop just a few miles from the Town of Calafate. Within its walls (shaped to mimic the angular blocks of ice on a glacier’s tongue), the Glaciarium offers sophisticated exhibits on the formation of the Southern Patagonian ice fields, their original coverage and present extent. You will also find detailed information on individual glaciers both on the Argentine and Chilean sides of the border. The museum also offers a 120-seat theater providing a 3-D cinematic tour of the glaciers themselves - certainly worthwhile for those who lack time to visit all of them. The informational panels and the recorded narrations are available in both English and Spanish.
