O'Higgins/San Martín Lake
Located in Patagonia, between the Aysén Region and the Santa Cruz Province, the lake is called O'Higgins in Chile and San Martin in Argentina. It is the deepest lake in the Americas with a maximum depth of 2,742 feet (measured near the O'Higgins Glacier). The lake is very irregular consisting of eight well-defined arms with milky light-blue water coming from the suspended rock flour.
The lake is named after South American heroes José de San Martín of Argentina and Bernardo O'Higgins of Chile, who fought together for the liberation of Chile.
