Circo de los Altares

In 2021 there was a controversy since CONAF (from Chile) installed a dome in the place which its southern part is claimed by both countries.

[5] The following mountains are part of the scenery: The Argentine-Chilean boundary in the area was defined with the 1994 arbitration decision regarding the Laguna del Desierto[6] which passes to the north of the Circo de los Altares, establishing it as part of the only Chilean pass to Mount Fitz Roy.

The boundary from south of Mount Fitz Roy to an intermediate zone towards the Cerro Torre range to the west was established in section B of the 1998 agreement concerning the Southern Patagonian Ice Field with points A and B having exact coordinates.

On the other hand, Chile's cartography prior to the 1998 agreement claims the entire site, the international boundary being the Adela range up to the part that goes towards the Fitz Roy.

In the minutes of October 1, 1898 the Chilean expert, Diego Barros Arana, and the Argentinian one, Francisco Pascasio Moreno agreed on the definition of the boundary in the area of the southern Patagonian ice field, which was defined on the following mountain landmarks and their natural continuity: Fitz Roy, Torre, Huemul, Campana, Agassiz, Heim, Mayo and Stokes.
