It stands at the north end of the North Patagonian Icefield. Monte San Valentin can be climbed from Lago Leones, to the south east, or from Laguna San Rafael, to the west. The ascent is long and is particularly subject to bad weather. The accident and fatality rate is high.
             The glacier covered Mount San Valentín is the highest in the region (about 3,900 meters), and to take the form of plain, is ideal for studying climate changes (paleoclimatology) by drilling its ice, becoming a major destination for scientific expeditions.

Ojos del Salado

              Nevado Ojos del Salado is a massive stratovolcano in the Andes on the Argentina-Chile border and the highest volcano in the world at 6,893 metres (22,615 ft). It is also the second highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere and the highest in Chile. It is located about 600 kilometres (370 mi) north of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. 
             Due to its location near the Atacama desert, the mountain has very dry conditions with snow usually only remaining on the peak during winter. Despite the generally dry conditions, there is a permanent crater lake about 100 metres (300 ft) in diameter at an elevation of 6,390 m (20,960 ft) on the eastern side of Ojos del Salado. This is most likely the highest lake of any kind in the world.

Atacama desert

             Atacama desert (Desierto de Atacama) is a plateau in South America, covering a 600-mile (1,000 km) strip of land on the Pacific coast, west of the Andes mountains. It is considered to be the driest desert in the world. The Atacama occupies 40,600 square miles (105,000 km2) in northern Chile, composed mostly of salt lakes (salares), sand, and felsic lava flows towards the Andes. 
             The average rainfall in the Chilean region of Antofagasta is just 1 millimetre (0.04 in) per year and some weather stations in the Atacama have never received rain. In a region about 100 kilometres (60 mi) south of Antofagasta, which averages 3,000 metres (10,000 ft) height, the soil has been compared to that of Mars.
