Castaño Overo Glacier on Cerro Tronador, Nahuel Huapi NP, Bariloche, Argentina, Patagonia, South America.

Castaño Overo Glacier. Cerro Tronador is an extinct stratovolcano in the southern Andes, near Bariloche, in the Lake District of Argentina. The sound of falling seracs gave it the name Tronador, Spanish for "Thunderer." With an altitude of 3470 m, Tronador stands more than 1000 meters above nearby mountains in the Andean massif, making it a popular climb in Patagonia, South America. Located inside two National Parks, Nahuel Huapi in Argentina and Vicente Pérez Rosales in Chile, Tronador hosts eight glaciers, which are retreating due to warming of the upper troposphere.
