The Puerto Edén Igneous and Metamorphic Complex is a large coherent but varied group of metamorphic and igneous rocks –in other words a geologic complex– that crops out in the Patagonian channels of Magallanes Region. At present the rocks of the complex include migmatites, plutonic rocks and high-grade metamorphic rocks. To the west the Puerto Edén Igneous and Metamorphic Complex bounds the South Patagonian Batholith.[1]
