Lady Florence Caroline Dixie and her accompanying party were the first tourists to visit the park and in her book of 1880 she described the three towers as 'Cleopatra's Needles'. It must have been amazing for her coming from Victorian England to see the Southern Patagonian Ice field and the huge glaciers: Grey, Dickson and Tyndall. Also the huge lakes with their vivid colours due to the rock flour from the glaciers suspended in their waters.
