| Lake Cerros Colorados, Neuquen Prov., Patagonia, Argentina: Most of the views show the arid landscapes of windswept Patagonia. The only places where agriculture can be practiced are the valley bottoms where irrigation water is available. The green swaths crossing the view are fields in the floodplains of the Neuquen River (top to bottom) and the Limay River (lower right-should be lower left). The prominent lakes are Lake Pellegrini, a natural depression (bottom) probably hollowed out by the persistent and strong winds for which Patagonia is so well known; and Lake Cerro Colorado, a manmade lake (top). |
