The river flows northwestward from the high Cordillera of the Andes to the Pacific Ocean near Concepcion, about 450 kilometers south of Santiago. This image shows a section of the river that skirts around Antuco volcano in the Andes, and features the Pangue dam and reservoir filling a narrow, meandering segment of the Biobio River valley. Upstream from the Pangue Reservoir (right frame), the cleared areas associated with earth moving and construction of the Ralco Dam are visible. The straight white lines in cleared forest between the two dams probably represent power transmission lines. 1-1 of 1
