The phenomenon was recorded in the San Sebastián area, north of Río Grande.
According to reports Chain 3an unusual natural phenomenon surprised Tierra del Fuego when the sea in the San Sebastián area, north of Río Grande, froze.
The images showed ocean waves turned into ice, a product of the extremely low temperatures in the region.
This area, located on National Route 3, is crucial for the survival of various migratory coastal birds and is known for its humid and cold oceanic climate, with winter temperatures that can drop to -14°C.
The freezing of the sea is attributed to the persistent cold wave affecting Patagonia, with recorded temperatures reaching as low as -15°C in recent days.
Local residents, accustomed to this type of extreme cold, have taken measures to prevent pipes from freezing, such as letting water run. The Provincial Directorate of Sanitary Works and Services has restricted the supply of drinking water in certain sectors to maintain adequate storage.
The National Weather Service has issued alerts for strong winds and heavy snowfall in the region.
This situation of maximum cold adds to a period of unusually low temperatures for this time of year, especially compared to the center and north of the country, which have recorded temperatures above average.
Patagonia is experiencing one of the coldest and snowiest winters in recent decades, with climatic events that have not been recorded for years.
