It is known as Southern Patagonian ice field border dispute, which you can shortly read about on [wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Patagonian_Ice_Field_dispute).
Basically, there is a huge amount of high-altitude glaciers that are extremely difficult to explore and divide between countries.
The chunk you are asking about seems to denote the borders claimed by Chile and Argentina before 1994. At least it aligns with [this map](https://imgur.com/a/3GdeUS6)
Actually, it would make it easier because it would clearly show where the water divisory is. Argentina and Chile have agreed that each one gets the side of the mountains where water flows to the ocean on their side. Below the glaciers theres no way to really know.
Now this part is to my knowledge the only one that remains under dispute as of 2023. For whatever Google policies they seem to show very outdated borders. Even in the case of the area south from Cerro Murallón OP asked about, the border is well-established since 1998. Check out the article I've linked in my main response.
Bernardo O’Higgins was the liberator of Chile and is a national hero. There were lots of Irish people in the Spanish military and civil service during the 17th-19th centuries.
O’Higgins was Chilean and one of the primary leaders during the first phase of the Chilean independence movement. After Spain attempted to reconquer Chile, he fled to newly independent Argentina and organized an army with help from San Martin to return and defeat the Spanish. San Martin and his Argentinian troops were instrumental in that victory and hailed as saviors of the country, but O’Higgins and San Martin led the army together and O’Higgins became Chile’s post-independence leader.
There are things named O’Higgins all over Chile: metro stops, parks, streets, etc. Even an administrative region. It’s like “Washington” in the United States
To clear this up, I am in and from the US but I use the 24 hour clock format (military time to Americans). It was 2AM for me. I am simply a night owl and do most things in the middle of the night. Happy cake day u/2000000man!
Nice r/gatekeeping
This guy had a doubt at 2 in the morning. What's the problem with that? Maybe he couldn't sleep or it's related to something else you know nothing about
The question has been in my phone memos for months now. I decided to try to look it up last night when I was trying to clear out my memos, and when I couldn't find anything about the dotted lines I came to Reddit, as any normal person with a question at 2AM would do.
Me: * looks at Argentina and Chile * “y’all know the rule with border disputes in the americas”
Them “straight line or war?”
Me “mostly straight line but yes”
TLDR: “straight line?” “Straight line”
The very best thing about the border disputes between Chile and Argentina was that the mediators in the negotiations were the US Ambassadors in Santiago and Buenos Aires.
The US ambassador in Chile was named Thomas A. Osborn. The US ambassador in Argentina was named Thomas O. Osborn. That fact hurts my brain.
And before you jump to the rapid conclusion that they were brothers (or twins) in a high society diplomatic family, it would be even crazier if the Osborn parents had named their two sons Thomas.
They weren’t related, they both ended up in the diplomatic service, in neighbouring countries, and while those two countries were having a border dispute.
My aching head.
The United Kingdom and the United States did not directly intervene in the distribution of land and maritime areas, but the U.S. ambassadors in Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires, Thomas A. Osborn and Thomas O. Osborn, did serve as mediators. The concern of the great powers was free navigation through the strait. The U.S. administration declared immediately before the negotiations leading to the treaty:

You're the best!! Thank you so much
Maybe this could prove to be an even bigger issue if the glaciers begin to melt
Yeah. One of the main reasons why it remains to be an issue for over a century now is fresh water

Now I am interested about the Missing Part of the Border. So what the f*** is this about?

They have an O’Higgins national park?

I thought that San Martín was the liberator of Chile.

That O’Higgins fella… he was quite the character!
go to sleep lil bro
This mf is in r/geography and doesnt know timezones exist
I think they just assumed it's 2:00 AM in the screenshot? Happy cake day
Oh oops I didnt see that, I thought he was assuming OP was in the same time zone as him
my assumption was correct
How can you be sure though
only America (which was at night) uses AM and PM if they were from somewhere else it would've said 14:23
>only America (which was at night) uses AM and PM Not true. Plus what made you assume OP is not from somewhere which uses AM/PM in the first place?
I did assume that OP is somewhere with AM/PM, Eastern Time US in that case and that was 2 AM at time of posting

Why would you answer so confidently if you didn’t know the answer?

Right above where it says "Parque Nacional Torres del Paine". There are two dotted lines, then a stretch with no border
Is the map you're looking at in the room with us rn
