Wildfires – Argentina, Chile
A large fire, that has been ravaging Argentina’s Patagonia region for several weeks, has intensified in recent days.
Fires remain active within a radius of about 500 kilometers (311 miles) in the region, one of the most important areas being the tourist destination of Bariloche, around a local lake in the Nahuel Huapi National Park.
The fire is rampant around the Lago Martin and Steffen areas and although access to the parks is closed, it is severely affecting the population of that area, mostly locals who live near the mountains, in the border area with Chile.
Wildfires continue to ravage parts of Chile. The agriculture minister has now declared an emergency in the region which lies to the south of the Santiago region.
