Alberto de Agostini

Alberto de Agostini National Park protects 1,460,000 hectares of spectacular wilderness in southern Chilean Patagonia, encompassing glaciers, fjords, mountains, and subpolar forests. Named after the Italian priest and explorer Alberto de Agostini who extensively photographed and mapped the region in the early 20th century, the park includes portions of the Darwin Range and numerous tidewater glaciers flowing from the Cordillera Darwin ice field. The park extends across several large islands and mainland territories in the Magallanes Region, featuring some of the world's most dramatic coastal-mountain landscapes where ice meets the sea. This remote sanctuary protects pristine ecosystems at the edge of the habitable world.
