Baker River (Chile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baker River is a river located in the Aysen Region of the Chilean Patagonia. It is Chile's largest river in terms of volume of water. The river flows out of Bertrand Lake, which is fed by General Carrera Lake. It runs along the east side of the Northern Patagonian Ice Field and empties into the Pacific Ocean, near the town of Caleta Tortel. The river also receives the waters of the Cochrane Lake through the Cochrane River. Its characteristic turquoise-blue color is due to the glacial sediments deposited in it.
