Impressive!

Looks really impressive! I know people you did not see Fitz Roy in 3 weeks, so you also were very lucky! Cheers Thomas

Re: Impressive!

The whole range is impressive indeed. Weather in Patagonia is always unpredictable, some weeks are splendid, some are awefull. That evening when we climbed up to Laguna de Los Tres, Fitz Roy was completely clear.
Thanks for taking a look.

Re: Awesome!

I never tire of photos from Patagonia, it always looks stunning whatever the conditions, but this is a different perspective. I hope I can get down there myself one day, great photo.
