Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Covering 1,415 square kilometers, it is Argentina's largest freshwater lake, with waters sourced from over 130 glaciers. The lake hosts numerous icebergs, with massive blue and white chunks floating, attracting many adventure enthusiasts.
Kohokohdat: The lake's distinctive milky white color comes from mineral particles produced by glaciers, a rare and beautiful sight. The Perito Moreno Glacier on its shores is the only glacier that advances daily, offering visitors a spectacular view of ice walls collapsing into the lake.
