Regional atlas of persistent ice bodies across national parks and protected terrain.
Argentina hosts various persistent bodies of land ice formed through the accumulation and compaction of snow within mountain valleys and high-elevation plateaus. These features shape regional landscapes through erosion and meltwater discharge. This collection tracks identified glaciers associated with national parks, enabling geographic comparison of their presence and distribution across protected landscapes in the southern reaches of the country.

A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.

A ridge is an elongated crest or connected line of high ground that separates slopes, valleys, drainage basins, or neighboring terrain. Ridges can result from erosion, folding, faulting, volcanic construction, glacial shaping, or resistant rock layers and may contain multiple summits or saddles. The type describes the linear landform rather than an extended mountain range or an individual peak.
A valley is an elongated area of lower ground between hills, mountains, ridges, or plateaus, commonly organized around a river, stream, glacier, or former drainage path. Valleys may be carved by flowing water or ice, controlled by faults and folds, or shaped by combinations of erosion and deposition. The type is broader than a narrow gorge and describes the containing landform rather than only the watercourse or settlement within it.
