Rasgos naturales y puntos de referencia geográficos del Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael
Ríos
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.
Glaciares
A glacier is a persistent body of land ice formed through the long-term accumulation and compaction of snow and capable of deforming or flowing under its own weight. Glaciers occupy mountain valleys, icefields, plateaus, or polar terrain and shape landscapes through erosion, transport, deposition, and meltwater. The category excludes seasonal snowfields and sea ice unless a source explicitly identifies a true glacier.

Bahías
A bay is a body of water partly enclosed by a curved or recessed shoreline while remaining openly connected to a larger sea, ocean, or lake. Its form may reflect erosion, drowned valleys, glacial excavation, faulting, volcanic structure, sediment barriers, or other coastal processes. The category describes geographic enclosure and should not be treated as synonymous with a gulf, lagoon, harbor, or estuary when the source uses a more specific identity.
Cumbres
A peak is a named summit or locally highest point on a mountain, ridge, hill, massif, or other elevated landform. Its identity may be defined by elevation, prominence, topographic form, established naming, or its position within a larger mountain system. A peak is the summit feature itself, not automatically the entire mountain or range that contains it.
Penínsulas
A peninsula is a projection of land surrounded by water on most sides while remaining connected to a larger mainland or island. It can range from a small coastal spur to a large regional landmass and may be shaped by erosion, deposition, tectonics, volcanism, or changing water levels. The category describes the land-water configuration and does not require a narrow isthmus or a particular geological origin.
Estrechos
A strait is a relatively narrow natural waterway between landmasses that connects two larger bodies of water. Its form can reflect tectonics, erosion, drowned landscapes, glacial processes, or changing sea levels, and it may separate islands from each other or from a mainland. The geographic type does not establish legal boundaries, navigation conditions, or a uniform current regime.
Arroyos
A stream is a natural flowing watercourse contained within a channel, generally smaller than a river but defined primarily by local naming and hydrological context. Streams may be perennial, seasonal, intermittent, spring-fed, glacial, or ephemeral and often form tributaries within larger drainage networks. No universal width or discharge threshold cleanly separates a stream from a river.
Volcanes
A volcano is a landform or volcanic center built around one or more vents through which magma, ash, gases, or fragmented material have reached the surface. Volcanoes include varied forms such as shields, stratovolcanoes, cones, domes, calderas, and complex systems, each with different histories and structures. The type identifies volcanic origin but does not establish present activity, hazard level, or a particular volcano class.
