Fitz Roy, Mountain peak

ARGENTINA/ CHILE

Cerro Chaltén, also known as Cerro Fitz Roy or Monte Fitz Roy, is a mountain located in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, on the border between Argentina and Chile. The mountain has a reputation of being "ultimate" for climbers, despite its average height, because the sheer granite faces present long stretches of arduous technical climbing. The weather in the area is exceptionally inclement and treacherous. It also attracts many photographers thanks to its otherworldly shape.
