The Patagonia region is mainly located in Argentina, with a small part in Chile. It includes almost all the land in southern Argentina. Covering an area of about 673,000 square kilometers (260,000 square miles), it consists of vast grasslands and deserts stretching from 37°S to 51°S.
The Patagonian Plateau stretches from the Colorado River at 36°S latitude in the north, to Tierra del Fuego in the south, the Andes in the west, and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. It covers an area of 786,938 square kilometers, accounting for about 28% of the territory of Argentina. Including the four provinces of Neuquen, Rio Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego. It is a place with a unique natural geographical environment.
Patagonia has a harsh climate and is known as the "terroir plateau". Affected by the narrow continental area, the leeward position of the Andes, and the coastal Falkland cold current, the desert reaches the east coast, but the continental characteristics are not very strong, and there is no extreme low temperature and high temperature in winter and summer.
The average temperature in July is 0℃～4℃, and the average temperature in January is 12℃～20℃. Precipitation is sparse, with an average annual precipitation of no more than 300mm in the whole region, and a decreasing trend from west to east. The wind is strong, often blowing a gust of wind with a speed of more than 110km per hour, and the dust storm is constant.
Fitz Roy is a peak in a series of vertical rocky peaks in the eastern mountains of the Patagonian Ice Field. Several compact mountain peaks stand abruptly along the glacier, and the Fitzroy series peaks are particularly striking and spectacular.
Its unobstructed rock tower-shaped mountain is so incredibly steep that it is the most beautiful rock wall in the world for climbers.
Patagonia is a developing region. Since the 1940s, successive Argentine governments have attached great importance to the colonization and development of Patagonia.
Formulate and implement policies to encourage the migration of population, capital, technology, materials, and equipment that are beneficial to the development of the region, hoping to turn it into a region with developed animal husbandry, agriculture, and industry, and then become a driving force for the entire nation. The new growth point of economic development.
