Viedma Lake Map
Viedma Lake is a lake across Argentina and Chile, covering about 1,090 km² (420 sq mi). This map shows the lake outlined in blue on shaded relief, with the rivers, borders and towns around it.
How to read this map
Its surface lies about 250 m (820 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Santa Cruz River, Viedma Glacier and Las Vueltas river. It drains through the Santa Cruz River. It is shared by Argentina and Chile.
The blue outline marks Viedma Lake as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include El Calafate.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of Viedma Lake come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where Viedma Lake is, not a surveyed boundary.
