Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here

At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in El Calafate may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in El Calafate — common questions

What time is Fajr in El Calafate today?

Fajr in El Calafate begins at 07:23 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from El Calafate?

From El Calafate, the Qibla is 92.4° from true north — roughly E. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for El Calafate?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Argentina. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How far is El Calafate from Makkah?

El Calafate lies approximately 13378 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.

How much does daylight change through the year in El Calafate?

Day length in El Calafate ranges from about 8 hours at midwinter to 16.4 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 8.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
