More model informationThis 3D block model shows the region of Tierra del Fuego, between Chile and Argentina, as well as Fagnano Lake. Cutting across the lake is the famous Magallanes-Fagnano transform fault system. This fault plays a signficant role in the left-lateral strike slip motions of the North Scotia Ridge (NSR). Geologists believe that the activation of this fault could have caused the separation of the South Georgia Microcontinent (SOM) from the rest of South America.
