Fontana Lake

Lake Fontana lies in a glacial valley of the Patagonian Andes. It receives water from neighbouring Lake La Plata and gives rise to the Senguerr River, which flows east across the steppe towards the Musters and Colhué Huapi lakes. Forested mountain slopes border the lake, while its outlet connects the wetter Andean country with the dry interior basin. Snow and rain in the mountains feed this long eastward river system.
