A southern subsidiary peak of Monte San Valentin. General Carrera Lake, Chile, Patagonia, South America.

Glaciers coat a southern subsidiary peak of Monte San Valentin (or Monte San Clemente, hidden in clouds to the right), the highest mountain in Chilean Patagonia, located at the north end of the North Patagonian Icefield. Photographed looking west across Lago General Carrera from Ruta 265 above an estancia on Rio Las Dunas (46°46'00.4"S 72°35'26.1"W), in Patagonia, South America. Glacially carved Lago General Carrera is surrounded by the Andes mountain range and drains to the Pacific Ocean on the west through the Baker River. The coast of the lake was first inhabited by criollos and European immigrants between 1900 and 1925. In 1971 and 1991, eruptions of the Hudson Volcano severely affected the local economy, especially that of sheep farming. Published by Alfredo Jaar Studio in a book on 20th century Chilean architects.
