**Sarmiento Lake** is a [lake](/source/Lake) located in [Torres del Paine National Park](/source/Torres_del_Paine_National_Park), in the [Magallanes Region](/source/Magallanes_Region) of southern [Chile](/source/Chile). It is named after Spanish explorer [Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa](/source/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 ["Thrombolites"](https://www.polartrec.com/expeditions/joint-antarctic-school-expedition-2014/journals/2014-02-23-0/) deposits, possibly from hydrothermal activity in the lake.
