Weather

Patagonia is well known for its weather.  The fall and spring are short, and the winter is extremely long.    The temperature changes drastically between night and day.  The average temperature in the winter is
-2C, the average in the summer hits 40C.  The area is humid and rainfall exceeds 2000 mm a year.  Patagonia sits at 41degrees South, and 68 degrees West.  This creates the weather at the tip of South America, all based off the amount of sun due to the earths tilt.

Torres del Paines is one of the most well known attractions of Patagonia.  The giant granite walls hang high over what is called "silence valley" or "valley of silence".  These walls were created in main part due to glacial erosion.  The mountains provide a constant changing weather pattern.  In spite of very "tough" conditions, to put it softly, many people still feel the drive to clime the granite walls.

Patagonia is one of the least human influenced places in the world.  It lies at the very southern tip of South America.  It has some of the most harsh weather in the entire world.
