A Wonderful Christmas Holiday in Argentina 2008


What an incredible color!

The famous Cerro Fitz Roy

Swimming on January 1st is a Dutch tradition I learned to follow with my new Dutch friend.

Absolutely incredible






I have never felt wind stronger then this.





These pictures were all from El Chalten in Southern Argentina. I had the best time there and stayed for 6 days. I met a wonderful new friend who I travled with for over a week. She was traveling alone as well from California and the perfect hiking partner. We had days of great clear weather and did lots of long day hikes from the town were we slept. We spent one night in a Refugio. We hiked out to a little cabin, carried our sleeping bags and rented a little room. It was marvelous, the mountains were incredible. The pictures maybe capture a tenth of the beauty and power of these mountains.
