Lake Argentina, Los Glaciares National Park, southern Andes, Patagonia, Argentina.

Visit Lake Argentina and Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park as a day trip from El Calafate, in southwest Santa Cruz province, in the southern Andes, Argentina. A red Volkswagon four door hatchback car rented for the day gave four of us flexibility to explore on our own schedule compared to a bus tour. The foot of South America is known as Patagonia, a name derived from coastal giants, Patagão or Patagoni, who were reported by Magellan's 1520s voyage circumnavigating the world and were actually Tehuelche native people who averaged 25 cm (or 10 inches) taller than the Spaniards.
