Roca or Acigami Lake is located in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Its basin is binational, situated right on the border between Chile and Argentina.
This glacial lake, oriented northwest-southeast, lies between the Guanaco and Pirámides mountain ranges. With a length of 11 km and an average width of 1.5 km, it is fed by the Lapataia River, which is naturally dammed by a glacial moraine.
The indigenous people of the area called it Acigami, which in the Yaghan language means "elongated basket or bag." After colonization, the lake was renamed Lake Roca (the Argentine side) and Errázuriz (the Chilean side) in honor of the presidents of both nations who signed the Boundary Treaty on February 15, 1899.
In November 2008, in commemoration of Fuegian Aboriginal Day, the Yaghan name was restored. In 2024, it was renamed Lake Roca once again.
