Aconcagua / Aconcagua Park - a photo on Flickriver

Vista del Parque Aconcagua tomada desde la Laguna Espejo (la imagen habla del porque de su nombre) o de lo poco que queda de ella, con el Monte Aconcagua detrás. Mas arriba está la Laguna Horcones. Este inmenso paraje a los pies del "Centinela de Piedra" de 6962 mts. de altura (significado de su nombre) fue el final de la lengua del Glaciar Horcones que baja desde el pie de la misma pared sur que se ve en la toma. Por delante está el cerro Miradores (de dificultad moderada para escalar) y hacia la derecha de la imagen el Cerro Almacenes. Lo sorprendente (o preocupante) es la poca nieve que se ve alrededor, solo el Cerro mas alto de América se destaca por sus glaciares, el resto, todos en promedio entre 4 mil y 5 mil mts. casi sin nieve. /

View of the park taken from the Mirror Lake (the speaks of the image because of his name) or the little that remains therefrom, to the Aconcagua behind. Above is Horcones Laguna. This huge site at the foot of Sentinel of Stone "from 6962 mts. in height (meaning of his name) was the end of the tongue of the glacier that Horcones downward from the foot of the south wall that is in the making. Ahead is the hill Miradores (of moderate difficulty climbing) and to the right of the image the Hill Stores. Rioja surprising (or disturbing) is the little snow that is around, only the highest peak in America notable for its glaciers, the rest, all on average between 4 thousand and 5 thousand meters almost without snow.
