  Title: Patagonian Lakes, Argentina, South America
  Description:
  The Patagonian Lakes of Argentinas Los Glacieres National Park (50.0S,
  73.0W)  occupying the foothills of the southern Andes Mountains along the
  border with Chile, are some of the most scenic in South America.  The range
  is covered by  a permanent ice cap and glaciers.  Glacier activity
  frequently reaches into  the lake region causing blockage and impounding of
  the waters until water  pressure causes the glacier to crack with a roar
  that can be heard for miles.
