LAGO ARGENTINO: PERITO MORENO GLACIER AREA

Argentino Lake is the largest lake in Argentina and the third in size in South America with a total surface of 1,560 km2. It is located 185 m. above sea level. It is 60 km long and between 14 and 20 km wide. Its depth varies between 35 and 1,000 meters, but in central part and on the southern shore facing Avellaneda Peninsula, it is 300 meters deep.
Argentino Lake is the source of the Santa Cruz River which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The especial color of the water is due to a very fine powder produced by glacier abrasion, called "glacier milk".
