Mirador Cuernos
Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
The wide open landscape of Torres del Paine contains the iconic Cordillera del Paine. Technically, this mastiff is part of the Andes but lies apart from the bulk of them. The granite and sedimentary layers were uplifted millions of years ago. Over time the sedimentary layers wore away, exposing the distinct granite layers.
Cerro Paine Grande (left) and Los Cuernos de Paine (the horns) lie separated by the French Valley. Lago Nordenskjold is seen at the base.
The vastness of the landscape is readily apparent as a fellow photographer is dwarfed by the scene.
