San Francisco Glacier

The San Francisco Glacier is a glacier in Monumento Natural El Morado Natural Park a hundred kilometers away from Santiago, Chile. It is a tourist attraction.

The San Francisco Glacier is a temperate, mountain glacier that has hard-to-observe characteristics due to it being covered in debris. This glacier spans from elevations of 2,200 m to 3,400+ m above sea level. A ~3,000 hectare protected surrounds the San Francisco Glacier overviewed by Chile's National Forestry Corporation (CONAF), as well surrounding landmarks such as the Laguna Morales.
