Icefloes flowing out from Jorge Montt Glacier with mists and waterfalls on the cliffs of Baker Channel, Patagonia


The Jorge Montt Glacier is one of major tidewater glaciers of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field (Campo de Hielo Sur), Chile. This glacier is one of the most rapidly retreating glaciers in the world, losing around 24 km in length since 1898, much of it beginning in the 1990s with climate change. The steep cliffs leading up to the glacier front contain many waterfalls resulting from the near constant rain.
