Kelta Lake

Kelta is an Indigenous name associated with the lake later called San Martín or O’Higgins, a deeply branching body of water among the southern Patagonian Andes. Glaciers descend towards its western arms, while rivers connect its eastern side with the steppe. Accounts based on Tehuelche knowledge recorded the name Kelt-Aike for a place reached by ascending the river system. The lake drains westwards through the Pascua River to the Pacific.
