One of the most geographically interesting places in the world, imo. There is so much untapped wilderness, that despite the harsh climate, are some of the most beautiful. Maybe I will move to Ushuaia one day.
My fav region on the face of the earth 🌎😂
Absolutely no reason to tap it, leave it alone
@@karthikeyanjagathesan657there's economical reasons, people who live there also need to eat
@@thefool1086seems like they’ve been doing just fine without foreign interference.
@@ito2789 yes? Im talking about the locals
Hi from someone born in a little town in the Patagonian desert! One little correction: at the beginning of the video you state that Patagonia is limited to the north by the Pampas. While that is correct, there is another region bordering northern Patagonia and that is the region of Cuyo, which is very much unknown as a region outside of Argentina but does have an internationally famous location: Mendoza and its wine region.
Perhaps you could make a video about the Cuyo region in the future to help make it more well known internationally. Some of its characteristics are:
-It's a warm desertic region.
-There the Andes reach their highest altitudes. Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak outside of the Himalayas, is located there.
-Though there are some large rivers, the region also presents many temporary, endorheic rivers and river basins.
-There is a disctinct type of wind called the Zonda, which is a fast, dry, dusty and hot wind that can rush down from the Andes on certain days and quickly rise the temperature. The Zonda can be dangerous for vulnerable people like old people or people with respiratory afflictions.
Thank you so much for this information. I had never heard of Cuyo. I'm going to look it up.
not better that chilean wines :PP come to Chile people! :DD
Til 2 things. A new region and why Pagani named his car Zonda
@@latinvegeta Will come....to Argentina. Chile is small, Argentina has quite wider landscapes.
Very interesting, thank you! I would like to know more. What is it like east of the Patagonian desert on the Atlantic coast?
Are there any areas of deciduous forest?
Last year I visited Patagonia, specifically Ushuaia and its outskirts in Tierra del Fuego. I have been to the fjords of Norway and the rainforests of Brazil, and I just have to say that I had never seen such beautiful and magnificent landscapes like the ones from Patagonia. True nature, untouched by humankind, where you can feel the power of wilderness. This is truly a magical and holy land we must protect at all costs. Viva la Patagonia y viva América del Sur!!!
The best side of patagonia is in Chile 🇨🇱
Thank you for your visit. Argentina's side is the cheapest for tourists
@@technos77 MAPUCHE 💀
Chile är bäst
@@claudiofernando2745 SHILE IST MAPUCHE LAND.
From the Amazon to Patagonia, South America is the greatest show on Earth.
Continent of extremes my grandfather calls it.
what about Asia?
ive been to patagonia in 2019, i went from ushaia to bariloche backpacking, it felt like something from a movie
❤❤❤did you see Hitlers villa?. Just curious if even anybody mention.
Chilean Patagonia: glaciers, fjords, islands; cold, rainy forests! To me, a Paradise
Argentine Patagonia also has all of that, plus deserts
Sounds like Southern Alaska.
@@luuchoo93no 80% of glaciers are in Chile NOT Argentina
@@claudiofernando2745 yes and most of them are inaccessible or really difficult to access. The most famous one in South America is Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina.
Chile doesn’t have the same arid windy steppe biome you can find in Argentine Patagonia, making it less diverse.
@@luuchoo93 hahah It is enough to see the geography through a satellite map (Google, for example) 5:36 to see that the so-called Argentine Patagonia has nothing: it has no islands, it has no fjords, it has no forests; Its coasts are boring, flat, uniform and desert. 5:26 3:55
The "Argentine Patagonia" is essentially and naturally a desert; and the scarce forested periglacial zone, was a theft from Chile 140 years ago.
About 10 years ago there was an episode of "Survivorman" in which he was dropped off in Patagonia. The place was brutal. Couldnt catch a single fish, catch any game, ended up sleepin in a shack built by some gauchos and surviving on some slab of left over cattle fat.
Yep, I've watched that episode. It was actually in the argentinian side of Tierra del Fuego.
After watching the Top gear UK's Patagonia special and the Bolivia special, I have never been this fascinated by a continent. The Patagonian region, the Atacama, Tierra del Fuego, the Andes, the La pas, The Ushuaia. What a beautiful continent ♥️ Thank you Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James may for this!
Argentina es hermosa
You should watch Ewan McGregors journey from Ushuaia to California "The long way up"
@@FacundoPombo sure, will definitely watch.
Hi: born in Argentina 69 years ago, I should say that in no more than 8 minutes, this is one of the best briefs ever made of my country. I understand that our sad present can´t be easily understood to the rest of the world, but I'll try to explain it in few words: the lowest moral, patriotism and capability quality of the people that governed the country throughout the history. Something that happened since it was part of the viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, continued after the independence in 1816, and was getting worse the last hundred years. With this kind of corrupted people ruling the nation, Argentina will never stop being a big country, to become a great country. Thanks. Adrian K. Bs. As.
A very long trip to Patagonia is a bucket list item for me
Brings back memories of my trip to the Chilean lake district and then across the border (into Argentina) to San Carlos de Bariloche in Dec 2013.
Saludos desde Bariloche 🇦🇷
Bariloche is Argentina. Chile is mapucheland ancestral tertitories.
@@cygnusatratus6004 Bariloche is Argentina. 🇦🇷
@@carlostiviroli4467 Shile is.mapucheland.
@@cygnusatratus6004 Yes.
Even though its a good video overall,. there are some things that I would like to clarify. First of all, most of the tourism industry income in Chile does not come from the lake district, but from the southern portion of Patagonia, which gets the biggest amount of international visitors, in contrast to Argentina which sees a big amount of international visitors in the provinces of Rio Negro and Neuquen, which are in the northern part of Patagonia. Also on the chilean side, most of what is named here as "the lake district" is not really considered patagonia, but instead it is from the Vicente Perez Rosales NP that patagonia begins to the south. In argentina there are provinces much closer to the equator that are considered part of patagonia, but in Chile are barely considered part of the central zone because the climate is none of the described in the video, but more of a mediterranean climate. Finally, pudu's actually live in the northern part of patagonian forests, and only inhabit the northern tip of the fjords area.
I remember wanting to move to south america when I was younger because of patagonia.
last November we visited the Argentina side of Patagonia.. amazing region!
Interesting video. Greeting from Tierra del fuego. Argentina 🇦🇷
One of our coworkers is from Patagonia. She’s there now visiting her mother for her birthday and before I met her I’ll admit I didn’t know Patagonia had population centers
Soy Patagonico ( Argentino) y aca vivimos.mas de 2,5 millones de personas...
Very strong presentation of a fascinating region. Thumbs up.
Fascinating geography
Been to Ushuaia once; considerably simple but beautiful place. Hope to go there again one day

Patagonia translates as the land of the big paw. Pata is paw in Spanish. It was named for the the big feet of the indigenous people.
Or just "foot" you know.
@@Rodrigo_VegaNo, foot is pie
@@schottentor5174 bro I'm a native speaker from the region. The "correct" word for "foot" is "pie" but even though "pata" is more often used to refer to animal limbs (not just the paw) it can be used informally to refer to people's legs or feet. "Baja las patas de la mesa!" "Take your feet off the table!". "Fa boludo! sos re patón!" "Wow dude!, you've got really big feet!" and so on.
@@Rodrigo_Vega Asi se habla informalmente, pero no cambia el significado.
@@schottentor5174 El significado de una palabra es el uso que le da la gente. Hace 100s de años el termino podría haber sido mucho menos informal. Decir que "pata" significa "pie" es mucho más cercano a la intención de su uso original que "zarpa".
thanks for sharing this, I was able to visit June 2023 and went down to Ushuaia, it was incredible
This is incredibly well-researched, illustrated, written and narrated. I'm subscribing!
Funny how the Roosevelt Glacier in North Cascades NP
Is advancing as is the Pertito glacier.

wow, would love to travel there some day
Beautiful place with the mountains and fjord
Wow this is such great material! Excellent job!
Amazing video¡¡Chile means in aymara language "Where the land ends"::MR.Benjamin Subercaseaux:"Chile,a geographic stravaganza";;Zig-Zag Editors;;1940 Santiago::Chile¡¡
Great video, very informative and interactive
People saying that the Argentine side is only desert are crazy, 3 of the 4 most visited places are on the Argentine side: fitz roy Mountain, glaciers national park and ushuaia city and its Forest, actually 4 of 5 if you count bariloche
they are not people! they are Chileans
I never knew Patagonia was such a diverse area. How wonderful. Thank you for this presentation.
I enjoyed the video/information. What an interesting, beautiful part of the world.
Wonderful channel! Thank you!
This is awesome stuff. Thank you so much!
The most visually underrated place on Earth.
Soy Nacido y criado en Patagonia ( ARGENTINA) tengo 47 años muy bueno el video...
Great video!
Thanks for the great lesson!
I am Canadian, I would like to live there. In my opinion, it is the best place on this earth to reside. ♥️💯👊
patagonia is pure magic. perito moreno grows.
Sounds like a great place to be 😮😊
Thank you for producing and posting your video. It is excellent at braking down the region and your narrative is so easy follow. Great Job!!!
Fantastic video. Thank you for making it! I've subscribed 😊
I like the length of this one!
That’s what she said!
greetings from Bariloche, best city in Patagonia
Is there much land for sale around.the area? From Australia
@@tyrell8316 yes
Pinin' for the fjords!
Argentina es hermosa, tiene absolutamente todo
Great video. One detail, the photo on 6:16 is the selknam people from Tierra del Fuego.
Wowww!!😮
Wowww😮
Great Video !
Your videos are fantastic
Although there's trout and salmon in the Chilean lakes, it is important to note that they're introduced! Trouts were introduced for fishing and salmon are feral runaways from the salmon farms in the Pacific.
Looks alot like the background where i live in nz😊
When we first started recording the ice fields 1850s and later on. they were at the largest since the end of the last ice age it’s only bound to go down from its glacia maxima
Muito lindo
The most beautiful side🇨🇱

I just found your channel today. I like it. I hope that more people subscribe. Thanks
I’d d love to visit Patagonia
Exploring the hidden gems of Patagonia! The Lake Districts, with their dramatic mountains and shrinking ice fields, showcase the impact of climate change. 🌍 What are your thoughts on the environmental changes in this breathtaking region?
I’m south american and I can say this continent is wonderful, we have since amazon until ice glaciers
Could you talk about the andes mountaints?
i see knowledge. i subscribed 😂❤😂
Another Bad Ass Vid🤙
Was once connected to Antarctica when it was further north.
No es cierto que la expedición de Magallanes tuviera como objetivo circunnavegar el globo. El objetivo era llegar a las Molucas, las islas de las especias y volver por el mismo camino. Al final una pequeña parte sí circunnavegó el globo, ya sin Magallanes y por decisión de Juan Sebastián Elcano
Thank you for the critically important real world testing & comparison! The problem with artificial testing methods that are adopted industry wide is that there is a tendency for manufacturers to "build to the test" rather than build "to the use".
Most of the "modern" higher R value pads rely on reflective layers for insulation, generally laid in a horizontal direction allowing much higher rates of heat loss out of the edges of the pad. I like my ExTherm, but that design is perhaps one of the worst for heat loss around the edges.
As I understand it, in laboratory testing, a static load (dummy) is placed on the static pad, in a static (no wind) chamber. I believe that what is NOT modeled is natural human movement on top of the pad which will cause the air inside the pad to mix or "flow" towards the perimeter where heat loss will be much greater.
Similarly, any breeze (even inside a tent) will result in cold moving air to interact with the edges of the pad.
For those reasons, (and for safety) I alway carry some type of closed cell foam pad to place either below or on top of the air mattress if needed (on top being warmer).
In addition, if it is cold, I will mound clothing and gear around the outside edges of the pad, I'm not sure how much the mounding of clothing / gear helps but even something like a shortie 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch (not sure how many mm, LOL) evazote pad on top of the air mattress will make a material difference in warmth.
I carry one of those 1/8" or 1/4" pads as a sit pad and use it with the sleeping pad as needed. On colder trips I bring a more robust closed cell foam pad to double with the air mattress.

Both trout and salmon are exotic species introduced into Patagonia.
The Andy's so beautiful.
Ferdinand Magellan was send to open a new (west) route to the Spice Islands since existing for that time was controlled by portuguese. Irony is that circumnavigation was never in plans
IS ISLAS MALVINAS
Congratulations to Argentina! Hopefully the world will follow!
thanks
Viva La Libertad Carajo!!!
❤
The ice fields will grow soon. Don’t worry.
The trout and salmon are actually non-native species introduced by humans, the environment is so perfect for them them the salmon and trout population exploded and it's one of the best places to fish in the world now
One of most remote places on earth, far away from almost all population centers
I would be very interested in German populations in Patagonia .
Yes. Quite a few Germans settled there
@@bodnica can you give me any populations or locations ?
@@williamremel8654 Frutillar in Chile. There is even a museum of german settlers showing how their life was when they first arrived.
I’m sure they saw an influx in German immigration after 1945 👀
Bariloche. Plenty of nazis left grandchildren there.
Te olvidaste de las Islas Malvinas. Cheers
Welsh is very strong in patagonia 🏴🏴🏴.
Are there elves flat sharing with the Pumas?
patagonia chilena hermosisima, patagonia ar, una por quer ia de desierto
No, el lado argentino es mucho más visitado que el chileno, por algo será.
@@alguien2345. Chile, es más visitado q ar
@@alguien2345. por algo será que la Patagonia chilena es la más visitada en plan de turismo personal-privado por actores y actrices de Hollywood y otras celebridades del espectáculo mundial, y también somos el punto de partida estratégico y turístico indiscutible para entrar a la Antártida: diría que cerca del 80% de la expediciones científicas y turisticas hacia la Antártica salen desde Chile ((solo entre el año pasado estuvieron en Patagonia chilena un tal Sebastián Vettel, una tal Camila Cabello, un tal Mr. Best, un tal Will Smith, el hijo de un tal Rockefeller, un tal James y Oliver Phelps, y un tal Matthew Lewis de una saga mundial llamada Harry Potter,…) Somos (en Sudamérica) el país más citado y fotografiado por los prestigiosos perfiles de turismo internacional, incluso hasta Leo DiCaprio constantemente cita nuestra naturaleza a millones y millones de personas (Leo de Caprio vino en plan de turismo personal hace unos años a la Patagonia chilena junto a su novia de ese entonces) No por nada, las televisoras internacionales han preferido hacer reportajes de la Patagonia chilena (National Geographic, versión americana; RAI de Italia; la Deutsche Welle en su versión inglesa; el Ministerio de Educación Nacional de Francia; Incluso hasta Barack Obama eligió a la patagonia chilena para hacer su programa mundial de los grandes Parques Nacionales del mundo: “Our Great National Parks’ de Netflix”…el lado argentino es esencial y principalmente visitado por latinoaméricanos, lo que sumado a la fuerte autopromoción e inversión turística de argentina y los precios "por el suelo" para los turistas, hace que sea bastante más atractivo. En todo caso el sitio más visitado en Argentina son las Cataratas del Iguazú que comparten con Brasil.

British: a land that i would like to control
Beautiful places ... i want to go 🚶♂️ 😫 😩 😢
my mother lives there,and last week they had 4 days in a row with - 10/12 celsius,.....this comming weekend its the same,.....!!!....If the Grand solar minimum kicks in for good,...and the cicle starts for a new ice age,..then it will be the start of a new ice age,....so dont worry about the heat so much,..dont forgett that in the outer space its - 270 celsius.....if you want it cold fly upwards !!!

Interesting how they started the loss of ice at 1870, right after the little ice age ended.
