The Wet Andes runs from a latitude of
35°S to
Cape Horn at
56°S. According to
Luis Lliboutry the Wet Andes can be classified after the absence of
penitentes. In Argentina well developed penitentes are found as south as on
Lanín Volcano (
40°S). Another difference is that the Wet Andes is largely devoid of
rock glaciers. The
glaciers of the Wet Andes have a far more stable line of equilibrium than those of the Dry Andes due to summer precipitations, low thermal oscillations and an overall high moisture. ==References==
