Mount Fitzroy

Mount Fitzroy

Sunrise near El Chalten, Argentina. Having been forewarned that the peak of Mount Fitzroy is rarely seen due to constant cloud cover (our guide had seen it twice in a month), I decided to take a chance and scale up a nearby hill in the dark and wait for dawn before the day's main hiking started. I was rewarded by the most stunning sunrise I've ever seen. The warm colour of first light reflecting off the red granite of the peaks and clouds was so incredible I almost forgot to take pictures! The photos captured these highly saturated colours really well.
