louds swirl in the light of the full moon over
the fantastic granite spire of Cerro Torre
(3128 meters), which looms over the Torre
Glacier. The view is from the moraines above
Campo Agostini, a popular base camp for
climbers who come from around the world to
test themselves on Patagonian peaks. The
clouds are at the front of one of the many
storms which pick up force. Icy cold and with moisture,
the clouds carreen over the Continental
Icecap immediately to the west, and then
slam with fury into the rocky barrier of the
Southern Andes.
