Lago Frias, Puerto Frias, Argentina - a photo on Flickriver

            The Lake Frías is a mirror of water of origin glacier located in the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi in the province of Rio Black, Argentina, in the department Bariloche.
the lake has an elongated oval shape in a north-south direction, and is located at a latitude of about 41º South. Its east and west banks are formed by very steep rock walls partially covered by vegetation that submerge in the waters, giving Lake Frías the appearance of a fjord.

The area is located at the foot of the Andes mountain range , which is why there is a copious rainfall as a result of the humid winds that blow most of the year from the Pacific Ocean , with 3500 mm annual records of precipitation. In winter it is the season with the highest rainfall record, and is the site of the Argentine Republic with the highest annual rainfall records.

The lake is fed by several streams that provide meltwater and the rainfall produced in the area; The main one is the Frías stream, which provides meltwater from the glaciers of Cerro Tronador . On its northern margin the lake discharges into the Frías River, which empties into Lake Nahuel Huapi in the vicinity of Puerto Blest .

The contribution of the sediments transported by the streams, particularly the upper Frías river bed that runs for about 10 km north from the foothills of the Frías Glacier on the Tronador hill, gives the lake its characteristic and beautiful turquoise tone, making it which makes it one of the most visited points of attraction in the Nahuel Huapí national park.

On the southern shore of the lake is Puerto Frías, a place that has a small pier - jetty, a post from the Argentine Gendarmerie and a Migration Office. From Puerto Frías, the road that crosses the border starts at the so-called Pérez Rosales pass, and which allows you to cross the border between Argentina and Chile.

During winters, some portions of the lake freeze, giving the landscape an unmatched beauty.
