This is quite an unusual image that we didn't realise we had captured until later that day. This is the magnificent Cerro Torre summit in the late afternoon sun. We knew there were condors flying around but didn't expect to see a paraglider appear in the image too 🤣

The world's largest nature reserve for penguins was created unintentionally.
The Falkland Islands were heavily land-mined in the Falklands War, making the beaches off-limits to humans and large predators. But penguins are not heavy enough to trigger the land mines, so the beaches became a safe haven for thousands of them. — The world's largest nature reserve for penguins was created unintentionally.

We emerged onto the flat plain of the Rio Electrico valley, through some old terminal moraines, continuing over a hillside to emerge at a small pass overlooking the Rio Pollone.

What a view! Ahead was the white wall of the Cordon Marconi and to the right Gorra Blanca towered over the valley. We could see our previous campsite at La Playita, the other side of the lake.

The red and brown colors of the rocks reflected back in Lago Electrico. At the far end of the lake a flat around of ground signifies the position of La Playita, a popular camp for those en route to the Patagonian Icecap

Examples today of lenticular clouds over the Cerro Torre & Fitzroy. They appear to be moving real slow but in fact signal very high winds speeds.

Nice to see the very summit of Cerro Torre itself appearing in one of the images. The W face will be plastered with new snow but the E facing side that we can see here is so steep no snow can accumulate apart from the snow mushrooms adorning the summit slopes.

The Patagonian weather is finally breaking. After days of settled conditions, the script has flipped: while patches of sun still linger, the peaks are now swaddled in cloud, and the wind has arrived with a vengeance. These are the strongest gusts we’ve felt in the 13 days since we arrived. A proper Patagonian welcome.

Very windy and cloudy day today. Cerro Torre was clagged in but Fitzroy range kept appearing out of the cloud, especially Aguja Poincenot 3002m, whose summit was often bathed in sunshine.

We did a short half day hike up some lower hills where we came across Condors and Guanaco. When the high hills are out because of the weather you can still have fun.

Another cracking day. Cerro Torre and Fitzroy prominent in the image.

This perfect weather has made us realize we need to go higher while we can. We have to take advantage of this window before the inevitable clouds and winds return. With the fine weather set to continue, this afternoon we'll pack for our first higher altitude adventure: an overnight bivouac on Loma del Pliegue Tumbado tomorrow
