Rio Limay, Patagonia, Argentina: The Rio Limay, now dammed at a series of points, flows off the southern Andes Mts., through the arid lands of Patagonia to the Atlantic Ocean. The browns of the Patagonian Desert (most of the view) contrast with the greens of the forested slopes of the Andes (top left). The highest parts of the Andes appear as light-colored treeless ridges. Lake Nahuel Huapi is the dark feature along the left side of the view.
