Rio Leones

In this aerial view, Rio Leones flows east from the Northern Patagonia Icefields in a meandering course down a long wide, mostly uninhabited, valley below the celadon-coloured Lago Leones, Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael, Patagonia, Chile. The snow line is high above the valley.

  • Our helicopter passed over the small town of Puerto Guadal on Lago General Carrera on our way back to the helicopter base just out of view to the right.  The mountains of Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael on the horizon are reflected in the lake, Aysen, Patagonia.  This is a ranching area, well known for fly fishing and water sports.

    I like that you kept part of the lake in the image, as well as showing the very long river valley.

    Superb pov...gorgeous landscape! I am amazed how sharp these are, given the vibration of the helicopter and its movement. Terrific work!
