Glacier Grande & Cerro Torre.

Cerro Torre being engulfed by cold air from the southern ice field.

The westerly winds bring cold air from over the ice field. As it passes over Cordon Adela, Torre etc it tumbles down into the valley like a huge waterfall before evaporating.







A leaf has melted it's own little hole in the surface of the glacier.












Looking back down the glacier the trekkers look like little ants.












Looking up towards Cordon Adela.













Semi transparent ice pinnicles.
