Epulafquén Lake
Glacial lake in Neuquén Province, Patagonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epulafquén Lake (Spanish pronunciation: [epuˈlafken]) is a lake in Neuquén Province, Patagonian Argentina. This glacial lake is located in the Andean mountains in Lanín National Park.[1] Hydrologically it forms one lake together with Huechulafquen Lake and is then considered an arm of it. It is separated from Huechulafquen Lake by a small channel formed due to the emergence of a small volcanic cone during the Holocene. One of the lake's most prominent features is a large delta-formed lava flow from Huanquihue volcano on its southern shore.
