Description

Wikipedia

Cerro Agassiz is a mountain in the Andes, located on the border between Argentina and Chile, in the Patagonia region. It stands at an elevation of 3,177 meters. On the Argentine side, the mountain is part of Los Glaciares National Park in Santa Cruz Province. On the Chilean side, it is part of Bernardo O'Higgins National Park in the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Region. In 1898, the expert Francisco Moreno identified the mountain as Agassiz according to a study conducted by glaciologist Cedomir Marangunic, which takes as reference a photo of the mountain in Moreno's book called "Argentine-Chilean Border - Volume II". In some maps, the current Cerro Tomek (2940 meters in Lliboutry's map), or Roma (3270 meters in Lliboutry's map) or Agassiz Sur as Agassiz. Alberto María de Agostini thought that the mountain was Cerro Bertrand; however, according to Marangunic, the historic Cerro Bertrand is Cerro Oasis/Agassiz Sur.
