Central Argentina

Panoramic view south from central Argentina towards Patagonia: (where a distant dust plume off Bahia Blanca can be seen), with the Andes Mts and the Pacific Ocean on the right, and the Río de Plata on the Atlantic coast on the lower left. The large inland lake, known as Mar Chiquita, and the Paraná River floodplain, both supress cloud formation.
