Marconi Range, Rio Electrico Valley, trail to Refugio Piedra del Fraile. El Chalten, Argentina, South America.

See the glacier-clad Marconi Range from the Rio Electrico Valley along the trail to Refugio Piedra del Fraile, northwest of El Chalten, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, Patagonia, South America. We hiked to Refugio Piedra del Fraile ("Stone of the Friar", 14.5 km round trip). From the refuge, an easy day hike visits scenic Lago Pollone (8.5 km round trip with 320 m gain) beneath towering Cerro Fitz Roy and Aguja Pollone. A more challending path from the refuge ascends very steeply to Paso Quadrado (gaining 1340 m vertically in 8.4 km round trip). This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.
