This group collects the Glaciers and Ice Formations subcategory's members located in South America, principally the glaciers and ice fields of the Andes and Patagonia across Chile and Argentina, including remnants of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet. These southern-hemisphere glaciers sit at markedly different latitudes and climatic settings from the subcategory's northern-hemisphere and Antarctic entries, and grouping them separately keeps the continent-level browse structure consistent even though South America contributes fewer named entries than Antarctica, Europe or North America.
