Highly compressed clear black-blue glacial ice from Jorge Montt Glacier, Tortel, 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. It was a special treat to see a female huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), a critically endangered species of south Andean deer, standing in the rain. She was feeding on some tall grasses in front of a rock cliff near the terminus of the Jorge Montt tidewater glacier. Tortel, Patagonia
