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 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.
