  [September 1, 2006] Buenos Aires, Argentina (Reuters) - An Argentine tourist map that put disputed Patagonian glaciers on Argentina's side of the border has inflamed already tense relations with neighboring Chile. 
  Chile sent a letter to Buenos Aires to complain about the official tourism map earlier this week, reviving the unresolved dispute over part of an icy border area at the southern tip of South America... Late on Wednesday, Argentina responded to Chile's complaints by calling for renewed efforts to agree on the border's route.
