Lake Lolog is a glacial lake with a surface area of 35 km2 (13.5 sq.mi.) set at an elevation of 900 m (2,952 ft.). It is located 9 km (5.7 mi.) north of San Martín de los Andes in Neuquén, Argentina. Its western tip is part of the Lanin National Park.
Its name comes from "lolo" = mouse, and "hue" = place, a place with many mice. There are different species of rodents like the long-tailed mouse (Oligoryzomys longicaudatus) living in the forests.
Long and narrow, it flows eastwards along the Quilquihue River and its water reaches the Atlantic Ocean along the Chimehuin, Collón Curá, Limay and Negro Rivers.
Its western part is surrounded by steep mountains and the dense Andean forest, to the east it is drier, with an open wooded area, that gradually blends into the steppe.
Creature or waves?
The following video taken in 2018 shows a wake on the surface of a relatively calm lake. The caption video says "25-10-18 where you can see strange waves in Lake Lolog that can only be caused by the "Monster of Lake Kolog", known fondly as "Lologuito"."
Trains of waves, the wake of a boat, a sudden burst of the potent Patagonian wind can cause a phenomenon like the one shown in this video. I think it is just waves. No animal involved.
