Cerro Chalten or Fitz Roy shines in pink/orange colours at sunrise (Explored)

A wonderful planetary location in Patagonia.

Monte Fitz Roy (also known as Cerro Chaltén, Cerro Fitz Roy, or simply Mount Fitz Roy) is one of the most iconic landmarks in Patagonia located on the border between Argentina and Chile, more precisely in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, near El Chaltén village and Viedma Lake. The mountain stands at an impressive 3,405 meters (11,171 feet) above sea level and is part of Los Glaciares National Park. It is also well-known for its unique rock formations, which are caused by wind and weather erosion.

The name Chaltén comes from the Aonikenk or Tehuelche language and means “montaña humeante” (“smoking mountain"), due to the clouds that almost constantly crown its summit, which, together with the ancestral name, has led to the wrong idea that it was a volcano. The mountain is considered sacred by the local indigenous people and is part of their cosmogony.

I was blessed for being able to capture the magical instant when the sun just rises and covers the Fitz Roy massif with such beautiful pink/orange light. Some part of El Chaltén village can be seen at the bottom of the image. Picture taken from the lookout (mirador) closer to El Chaltén. Post-processed in DXO PhotoLab
