Charre Lake

Charre is a great branching lake in the southern Andes, fed by waters from the Patagonian icefields. Its long arms reach among mountains on the eastern side of the range, yet its outlet, the Pascua River, carries its waters west to a Pacific fjord. The lake is known in later geography as O’Higgins or San Martín, and its many inlets follow the valleys carved by glaciers.
