La Plata Lake

Lake La Plata occupies a glacial basin in the Patagonian Andes, close to Lake Fontana. Its waters pass into Fontana and then the Senguerr River, which runs eastwards towards the lakes of the dry Patagonian interior. Forests and mountains surround the lake, while snowfall and rain feed the upper basin. This chain of water connects the Andean slopes with the distant steppe, despite the steep terrain between them.
