Laguna Redonda Airport (ICAO: SCIO) is an airstrip 55 kilometres (34 mi) south-southwest of Villa O'Higgins in the Aisén del General Carlos Ibañez del Campo Region of Chile.
The runway is in a canyon off the main channel of Lake O'Higgins, very near the border with Argentina. There is mountainous terrain in all quadrants and limited room to maneuver within the canyon.[2]
