The Cerro Roma,[1][2][3] Cerro Vivod,[4][1] or Agassiz Norte[5] is a mountain in the Andes, located on the border between Argentina and Chile, in the Patagonia region.[6][7][8] The mountain reaches 3,180 m a.s.l.[9][10] and is located near the westernmost point of Argentina, as defined by the 1998 agreement (49°57′52″S 73°30′09″W / 49.96444°S 73.50250°W / -49.96444; -73.50250 DATUM WGS 84).

It is also called Agassiz Norte, distinguishing it from the nearby border peaks Cerro Agassiz and Cerro Agassiz Sur/Oasis.

Cerro Roma was named Cerro Bertrand in the 1998 agreement,[11] however, according to the study carried out by the glaciologist Cedomir Marangunic, the historical Cerro Bertrand is the Cerro Oasis/Agassiz Sur.[12]

On the Argentine side, the mountain is part of the Los Glaciares National Park in the Santa Cruz Province. On the Chilean side, it is part of the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park in the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region.

Etymology

The mountain was named "Roma" by its discoverer and explorer, Father Alberto María de Agostini.[2]

History

After the signing of the 1881 Treaty between Argentina and Chile, the border in the area was defined in 1898 by demarcation experts, Francisco Pascasio Moreno from Argentina and Diego Barros Arana from Chile. The Huemul was declared a boundary marker. The experts had no disagreements between Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Stokes, unlike other territories that were submitted to arbitration in the 1902 award. The boundary was defined over the following mountain markers and their natural continuity: Fitz Roy, Torre, Huemul, Campana, Agassiz, Heim, Mayo, and Stokes.[13][12][14][15][16]

In 1998, the "Agreement between the Republic of Chile and the Republic of Argentina to define the boundary between Monte Fitz-Roy and Cerro Daudet" was signed, establishing Section A and part of Section B, leaving the area between Fitz Roy and Murallón pending.[11]

In 1969, Jorge Skvarca and Mario Serrano climbed the ice-covered summit of Cerro Roma (3180 meters); they wanted to name it Cerro Vivod in memory of a friend who had recently disappeared in Tronador, but the toponym given by De Agostini had already been adopted, so they refrained to avoid confusion.

Fue De Agostini12, quien en su intento de travesía del Campo de Hielo Patagónico Sur, bautizó a este pequeño cordón montañoso como "Cordón Roma" y a su cumbre más elevada como Monte Roma (Figs. 9.12B, 9.13 y 9.14). Además, nombró como Cerro Bertrand a una cumbre ubicada aproximadamente 6 kilómetros al sur del Monte Agassiz; a este Bertrand se le conoce actualmente como Agassiz Sur (en las coordenada 50º00'48"S y 73º26'39"W, y cuya cima alcanza la cota de 2835 metros). En definitiva, el cerro al que se hace referencia en la Exposición Argentina, y que constituye el hito limítrofe, es el Agassiz original de F. P. Moreno. [The hill that Francisco P. Moreno named Monte Agassiz—in honor of Swiss scientist Louis Agassiz—and whose photograph (Fig. 9.12A) appears in the Argentine Exhibition (page 942 of the English version, attributing an elevation of 3250 m) presented to the arbitration of S.M.B., is located at coordinates 49º57'38“ S and 73º27'16” W with an elevation of 3185 meters and is the eastern end of a short mountain range with snow-capped peaks. It was De Agostini, in his attempt to cross the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, who named this small mountain range “Cordón Roma” and its highest peak Monte Roma (Figs. 9.12B, 9.13, and 9.14). He also named a peak located approximately 6 kilometers south of Mount Agassiz Cerro Bertrand; this Bertrand is now known as Agassiz Sur (at coordinates 50º00'48“S and 73º26'39”W, with a summit elevation of 2835 meters). In short, the hill referred to in the Argentine Exhibition, which constitutes the boundary landmark, is the original Agassiz of F. P. Moreno.]
