Alpenglow on a very very cold pre dawn on the Fitzroy Massif. Fitzroy Massif. Left to right the main peaks are Cerro Poincenot (3002m), Aguja de la Silla (2938m), Monte Fitz Roy (3405m), Aguja Val de Vois (2653m). Fitz Roy was named after the captain of the HMS Beagle who explored the area with renowned naturalist Charles Darwin, after traveling up the Santa Cruze River in 1834. Alternatively called Cerro Chaltén; Chaltén is a Tehuelche (Aonikenk) word meaning smoking mountain, due to a cloud that usually forms around the tip of the mountain. Argentine Patagonia, Argentina

This is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing places I've ever been... I won once with a similar photo and almost posted about Fitz again, but from a different angle hihihihih

Awesome photo btw!

Thanks. Such an epic part of the world!

Incredible! Everything, the colors, the shape of the peaks, and the contrast between the warmth of the dawn and the coldness of the snow.

Congrats on being a WINNER in Mountains Monday Week 9!

Thank you for appreciation of my photo!

Sunrise in La Joue Du Loup, the southern Alps of France. In a cold winter morning with fresh snow decorating the peaks, it is very exciting to be greeted with these fabulous warm colors as a way to start the day.

What brings you to the mountains?
In most of my trips I'm alone, thus I like to find funny or crazy things to do, so I think my picture summarizes how I feel. What brings me to mountains is the sensation of having some super power, an strange sensation that nothing can reach me, I feel energized to the most.
