In the Mountains...


Mountains and valleys... by the time you get to Patagonia the only flat space is what´s been cut by rivers and glaciers.  Here´s a taste of the scenery...



High in the cordon near San Lorenzo - surveying the Rio Salto, which we spent most of the next day crossing.



Sunset over the Rio Salto... heavily braided and nowhere near its peak flow (judging by all the boulders and gravel).



Class time near the summit of San Lorenzo.



Sunset over the southern Andes, taken from the high glacier of San Lorenzo.



Rope teams on the snowfield... wet Patagonian weather makes for some outstanding rainbows.
