The Gateway to Perito Moreno
This expansive view captures Lago Argentino, the largest freshwater lake in Argentina, fed by the waters of the Perito Moreno Glacier and other ice fields in Los Glaciares National Park.
Patagonian Landscape The milky turquoise waters are characteristic of glacial lakes, colored by rock flour - fine sediment ground by glacier movement. The snow-capped peaks of the Andes mountain range dominate the horizon.
Travel Context Photographed from Route 11, the main access road to the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of Patagonia's most visited natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
