Patagonian glaciers. This composite of two photographs (NASA photographs NM22-737-091 and NM22-737-092) taken in the sunglint, shows the position of several glaciers flowing from the ice field of Patagonia (the Darwin Cordillera) into the Pacific fjords. Taken during southern hemisphere summer, the glaciers are calving andthe sunglint pattern suggests that there is water covering parts of some of the glaciers (arrows).
