Polish Glacier

Polish Glacier

The Polish Glacier (Spanish "Glaciar de los Polacos") is one of the glacial fields of Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Andes. It was named after the Polish expedition of 1934 [J. Neate (1994). Mountaineering in the Andes, p187. RGS 1994, ISBN 0-907649-64-5 ] . Led by Konstanty Narkiewicz-Jodko, the team paved an alternative route to the peak, named "the Polish Route", through the glacier.
