+ About this map
Fitz Roy rises 11,171 feet on the edge of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in Argentina, above the village of El Chaltén. Its indigenous name, Chaltén, means smoking mountain, for the banner of cloud that so often streams from the summit. The jagged skyline it forms with its satellite spires became the logo of the Patagonia clothing company, making this one of the most recognized mountain profiles in the world.
This map traces that skyline from above. The contour lines collapse into dense knots at Fitz Roy and the surrounding needles, including Aguja Poincenot, recording granite walls that rise thousands of feet at close to vertical. Glacial lakes sit in the basins below the east faces, Laguna de los Tres among them, while to the west the lines run out onto the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
