The Southern Patagonian Ice Field ({{langx|es|Campo de Hielo Patagónico Sur}}), located at the Southern Patagonic Andes between Chile and Argentina, is the world's second largest contiguous extrapolar ice field.At about 16,800 square kilometers, it is second only to southeastern Alaska's approximately 25,000 square kilometer Kluane / Wrangell–St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek Ice Field. {{cite web |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/72 |title=Kluane / Wrangell-St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek |website=UNESCO |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170224234804/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/72 |archive-date=2017-02-24 }} It is the bigger of two remnant parts of the Patagonian Ice Sheet, which covered all of southern Chile during the last glacial period, locally called the Llanquihue glaciation.

The Southern Patagonian Ice Field extends from parallels 48° 15′ S to 51° 30′ S for approximately {{convert|350|km}}, and has an approximate area of {{convert|16,480|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, of which {{convert|14200|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} belong to Chile and {{convert|2600|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} belong to Argentina.{{efn|The area includes regions included in the official cartography of Argentina, which is still pending demarcation, see the section on the dispute.{{refn|{{cite web|url=https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=140087|title=Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional | Ley Chile|access-date=2021-08-28|archive-date=2021-08-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210827235730/https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=140087|url-status=live}}}}}}
The ice mass feeds dozens of glaciers in the area, among which are the Upsala ({{convert|765|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|disp=or}}), Viedma ({{convert|978|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|disp=or}}) and Perito Moreno ({{convert|258|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|disp=or}}) in the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, and the Pío XI Glacier or Bruggen Glacier ({{convert|1265|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|disp=or}}, the largest in area and longest in the southern hemisphere outside of Antarctica), O'Higgins ({{convert|820|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|disp=or}}), Grey ({{convert|270|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|disp=or}}) and Tyndall ({{convert|331|km2|sqmi|abbr=on|disp=or}}) in Chile. The glaciers going to the west flow into the fjords of the Patagonian channels of the Pacific Ocean; those going to the East flow into the Patagonian lakes Viedma and Argentino, and eventually, through the rivers de la Leona and Santa Cruz, to the Atlantic Ocean.
An important part of the ice field is protected under different national parks, such as the Bernardo O'Higgins and Torres del Paine in Chile, and the aforementioned Los Glaciares in Argentina.
There are two known volcanoes under the ice field: Lautaro and Viedma. Due to their inaccessibility they are among the least researched volcanoes in Chile and Argentina.
In 1980, Chile planned Route 8 as a section of the Carretera Austral west of the ice field, which has not been built.{{cite web |title=Ruta 8 Campo de Hielo Sur |url=https://eldivisadero.cl/_noticia/Ruta-8-Campo-de-Hielo-Sur/NDA5OTU= |publisher=El Divisadero |date=10 December 2016 |access-date=28 July 2023 |language=es}}
Circo de los Altares is an important hiking place.
History
=Exploration=
Thorough explorations include the expeditions of Federico Reichert (1913–1914), Alberto de Agostini (1931), and Harold William Tilman and Jorge Quinteros (1955–1956), as well as Eric Shipton (1960–61). The first (North-South) crossing of the field was accomplished in 1998 by Pablo Besser, Mauricio Rojas, José Montt, and Rodrigo Fica. Nevertheless, some areas of the field remain largely unexplored.
From the air, initial exploration was conducted in 1928–29 by Gunther Plüschow after whom a glacier is named. From April 1944 to April 1945, the United States Army Air Forces conducted an aerial survey using the Trimetrogon method at the request of the Chilean government.{{cite report |url=https://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/1386i/report.pdf |title=Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World {{!}} South America {{!}} United States Geological Survey Professional Paper 1386-I |last=Lliboutry |first=Louis |author-link=Louis Lliboutry |editor-last1=Williams |editor-first1=Richard S.

{{Main article|Southern Patagonian Ice Field dispute}}
File:Southern Patagonian Ice Field border.svg
The boundary between Argentina and Chile in the area was established by the 1881 treaty and delimited in 1898 by the experts of both countries working in the demarcation of the border, and which differences led to the 1902 award, in which they agreed they did not have differences on the part of the border between Fitz Roy and Stokes. The award is established "to perpetuity" by both countries under British tutelage. The map published by the British Crown, as part of the documentation of the 1902 award, illustrates a clear demarcation line (from the Fitz Roy to the Stokes) to the east of the Southern Patagonian Ice Fields, leaving most of the territory in question in the Chilean side.Santis, 1995:3–7
The 1902 award considered that in that area the high peaks are water dividing and therefore there was no dispute. Both experts, Francisco Pascasio Moreno from Argentina and Diego Barros Arana from Chile, agreed on the border between Mount Fitz Roy and Stokes{{cite web |author1=Cedomir Marangunic Damianovic |title=Frontera Chile-Argentina: atención urgente al Campo de Hielo |url=https://www.ciperchile.cl/2024/07/12/frontera-chile-argentina-atencion-urgente-al-campo-de-hielo/ |publisher=Ciper Chile |access-date=22 March 2025 |language=es |date=12 July 2024}} (nowadays Cervantes).{{Cite web |date=26 April 2021 |title=El Campo de Hielo Patagónico Sur ¿es mejor un mal arreglo que un buen juicio |url=https://www.infodefensa.com/texto-diario/mostrar/2964636/campo-hielo-patagonico-sur-mejor-mal-arreglo-buen-juicio |access-date=8 September 2022 |publisher=Info Defensa |author1=Juan Ipinza}} Since 1898, the demarcation of the border in the ice field, between the two mountains, was defined on the next mountains and their natural continuity: Fitz Roy, Torre, Huemul, Campana, Agassiz, Heim, Mayo, and Stokes.{{cite book |author1=Francisco Pascasio Moreno |title=Frontera Argentino-Chilena - Volumen II |date=1902 |pages=905–911 |language=es}}{{cite book |title=Arbitraje de Limites entre Chile i la Republica Arjentina - Esposicion Chilena - Tomo IV |date=1902 |location=Paris |pages=1469–1484 |language=es}}{{cite book |author1=Diego Barros Arana |title=La Cuestion de Limites entre Chile i la Republica Arjentina |date=1898 |location=Santiago de Chile |language=es}} In 1914, the Mariano Moreno range was visited by an expedition; however, Francisco Pascasio Moreno already knew of its existence.{{cite journal |author1=P. Moreno, Francisco|title=Explorations in Patagonia|journal=The Geographical Journal |date=1899 |volume=14 |issue=3 |publisher=Royal Geographical Society|page=262|doi=10.2307/1774365 |jstor=1774365 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774365|ref=No. 3 (Sep., 1899), pp. 241-269|quote=I have seen it descending from the west as an immense ice field, from the crest of the central chain, 3000 meters high, which the ice covers to its western slope in the Eyre Strait. To the south and north of it, other narrower glaciers can be seen at the extremity of the fjord-like bays.}} Argentina started to question the border, arguing that the border should be in the Mariano Moreno range.
In 1994, the Laguna del Desierto dispute was solved which involved territory of the Ice Field; an international tribunal awarded almost the whole zone to Argentina.{{cite web |title=The Laguna del Desierto case |url=https://jusmundi.com/en/document/decision/en-boundary-dispute-between-argentina-and-chile-concerning-the-frontier-line-between-boundary-post-62-and-mount-fitzroy-decision-friday-21st-october-1994 |publisher=Jusmundi |access-date=2 February 2023}}{{cite web |title=Boundary dispute between Argentina and Chile concerning the frontier line between boundary post 62 and Mount Fitzroy |url=https://legal.un.org/riaa/cases/vol_XXII/3-149.pdf |publisher=Legal UN |access-date=2 February 2023 |date=21 October 1994}} After a refused appeal in 1995, Chile accepted the award. Since then, Chile has had a small corridor to access Mount Fitz Roy, and the Marconi Pass was defined as an international border crossing point.
The Southern Patagonian Ice Field section of the border is the last remaining land border issue between Chile and Argentina. On August 1, 1991, the governments of Chile and Argentina agreed on a borderline, but the agreement was never ratified by the Argentine legislature. Later, in 1998, both governments agreed to redraw the borderline between Mount Fitz Roy and Daudet.{{cite web | url = https://www.difrol.cl/download/acuerdo-para-precisar-el-recorrido-del-limite-desde-el-monte-fitz-roy-hasta-el-cerro-daudet-1998/ |date=1998 | title = Border agreement between Chile and Argentina | access-date = 2006-10-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080512113755/http://www.difrol.cl/acuerdo_de_hielos.htm | archive-date = 2008-05-12 | url-status = dead }}{{cite web | url=http://www.turismovirtual.cl/xii/xii.html | title=Map showing border between Chile and Argentina (partly undefined) | access-date=2016-06-26 | archive-date=2019-10-02 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191002234247/http://www.turismovirtual.cl/xii/xii.html | url-status=live }}
Section A of the agreement (between Cerro Murallón and Daudet) and a small part of B (from Fitz Roy to a point defined to the west) was drawn; however, they also agreed that section B (from Fitz Roy to Murallón) would wait until completion of a detailed 1:50,000 scale map of the area with further negotiations. To date, this one section remains the final non-concluded boundary section and has been an irritant in Argentina-Chile relations.

In February 2006, Ricardo Lagos{{cite news |title=Lagos comenzó gira que lo hará recorrer todas las comunas del país |url=https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/pais/lagos-comenzo-gira-que-lo-hara-recorrer-todas-las-comunas-del-pais/2006-02-01/120745.html |access-date=5 February 2023 |publisher=Cooperativa |date=February 1, 2006 |language=es }} appeared in a photo with the head of the Air Force, General Osvaldo Sarabia, in the undemarcated area; this caused controversy with Argentina.{{cite news |title=Revelan fallidas tratativas del gobierno de Bachelet por Campos de Hielo |url=https://www.latercera.com/noticia/revelan-fallidas-tratativas-del-gobierno-de-bachelet-por-campos-de-hielo/ |publisher=La Tercera |date=May 20, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815125113/https://www.latercera.com/noticia/revelan-fallidas-tratativas-del-gobierno-de-bachelet-por-campos-de-hielo/ |archive-date=2020-08-15 |language=es}}
In 2006, the Argentine Instituto Geográfico Militar (IGM) (today Instituto Geográfico Nacional) edited a map without a note about the undefined border but showed the Argentine claims as the official borderline.
