A large metal fish sculpture at the junction of Rutas 40 and 23, the turn to El Chalten mountain resort in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, Patagonia, South America. The village is settled on the riverside of Rio de las Vueltas, within Los Glaciares National Park near the base of Cerro Fitz Roy (3405 m or 11,171 ft elevation), at the edge of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. The town is 220 km north of El Calafate. Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche word meaning "smoking mountain", due to clouds that usually form over Monte Fitz Roy.
