Pia Glacier - The Eternal Ice

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : The Pia Glacier runs along the Chilean side of the strait on the Beagle Channel, a strait which runs parallel to the Strait of Magellan in Patagonia (the name for the southern "cone" of South America). In this stunning drone video, top contributor Fabio Knoll flew his drone over this magnificent ice formation, giving us a magnificent bird's eye view of the glacier's amazing texture. The glaciers of Patagonia are some of the most spectacular in the world; a number are the world's biggest outside of the polar ice caps.

Reaching deep into the fjords of southern Patagonia, the Pia Glacier descends from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field like a frozen river carved by time. From above, its immense crevasses, fractured ice walls, and turquoise meltwater reveal a landscape in constant motion — a fragile balance between solidity and collapse, silence and force.

Captured during an expedition into one of the most remote corners of the Patagonian wilderness, this aerial journey reveals the raw geometry of ice meeting mountain and sea. The Pia Glacier stands as both monument and warning — a sublime reminder of Earth’s power, scale, and vulnerability.
