At an altitude of 3,405m(11,171ft) Mount Fitz Roy's original name is Chaltén which, in the Tehuelche dialect, means “smoking mountain”. This is due to a rare aeolic phenomenon that makes its top always appear as it is surrounded by clouds and gives the mountain a smoking volcano look.
In 1877 the explorer Perito Moreno named it Fitz Roy in memory of the sailor that explored the channels in Tierra del Fuego and the Santa Cruz river during the Charles Darwin expedition.
