Lago Argentino
The huge glacial lake fills much of the map to the north, its irregular shoreline forming the town's main edge and giving the composition wide open space.

About this El Calafate map poster
El Calafate is a town in Argentina's Santa Cruz province, on the southern shore of Lago Argentino, the country's largest freshwater lake. It is named after the calafate, a thorny shrub with blue berries that grows across Patagonia, and it serves as the main base for visits to Los Glaciares National Park and the Perito Moreno Glacier.
From above, the town is a compact grid along the lakeshore, with a main avenue running parallel to the water and residential streets climbing gently behind it. The shoreline is irregular, with a small bay and the Laguna Nimez wetland reserve at the edge of town.
An El Calafate map poster shows a small street grid set against vast open space. The pale expanse of the lake, the curving shore and the empty steppe around it dominate the frame, giving the print a sense of scale that matches the landscape of southern Patagonia.
