Description

The very first light kissing El Chaltén. The name means Smoking Mountain in Tehuelche, the language of the ancient nomadic hunters who lived in this part of Patagonia. They named it so because the mountain is almost always shrouded in cloud. We spent three days here and were very fortunate to have clear views each day. But this, the morning of our second day, was by far the most spectacular!

Canon 5DsR, polarizer, 200mm, 1/40 second, f/8, ISO 200.
