'''Sarmiento Lake''' is a [[lake]] located in [[Torres del Paine National Park]], in the [[Magallanes Region]] of southern [[Chile]]. It is named after Spanish explorer [[Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa]], and gives its name to one of the areas in the National Park Torres del Paine. Its edge is marked by extensive calcium carbonate [https://www.polartrec.com/expeditions/joint-antarctic-school-expedition-2014/journals/2014-02-23-0/ "Thrombolites"] deposits, possibly from hydrothermal activity in the lake.
