One of several frosty fingers in the Southern Ice Fields within remote Torres del Paine National Park, Grey Glacier stretches nearly 12 miles through a landscape of spindly Patagonian peaks. Its front, filled with whipped and blue-tipped miniature mountains, tumbles into Grey Lake.

Take a boat ride or kayak to its towering terminus or hike the lake’s perimeter for incredible panoramic views.
