Photo by @gordonwiltsie // Anywhere else on earth, these fantastical, frozen mountains would be a Mecca for mountaineers, as are some of the more famous crags of Patagonia, out of frame to the east (right). But here, above the forbidding Southern Icecap of the Andes, the weather is so ferocious that these rime-plastered spires have seldom even been seen from the ground, much less approached. I glimpsed them only this one time from a distance during a two-month expedition to document the previously-unexplored, but much-more accessible Cordillera Sarmiento mountains in the foreground. In all of time we were in the area we enjoyed only five days that were good enough for landscape photography, much less climbing. Most of the time we were miserable, battened down in tents or snow caves against torrential snow, rain and sometimes hurricane force winds. We did get up some of the higher peaks, but the summits shown here were as far away as a dream. As the next generation of expedition photograpers pushes the limits of exploration even further, however, I’m hoping someday to see more pictures of these spires from a much closer vantage.
