Laguna del Carbon


Laguna del Carbon is an endorheic salt lake in the Gran Bajo de San Julian (Great San Julian Depression) of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, 54 km from Puerto San Julian. At below sea level, it is the lowest point of both the Western and Southern Hemispheres, and the seventh lowest point on Earth.

As in several other locations in Patagonia, dinosaur fossils have been found in the area.
