Polish Glacier

The Polish Glacier[1] (Spanish Glaciar de los Polacos) is one of the glacial fields of Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Andes and the Americas. It was named after the Polish expedition of 1934.[2] Led by Konstanty Jodko-Narkiewicz, the team developed an alternative route to the peak through the glacier, which was named the Polish Route.
