Clouds swirl around Cerro Fitz Roy seen from trail "Loma del Pliegue Tumbado". El Chalten, Argentina, Patagonia, South America.

Clouds swirl around Cerro Fitz Roy (3405 m or 11,171 ft elevation) seen from the trail "Loma del Pliegue Tumbado" near El Chalten, in Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, Patagonia, South America. From El Chalten, we hiked to Mirador "Loma del Pliegue Tumbado" ("hill of the collapsed fold") 19 km (11.9 mi) with 1170 meters (3860 ft) cumulative gain. El Chalten mountain resort is 220 km north of El Calafate. Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche word meaning "smoking mountain", due to clouds that usually form over Monte Fitz Roy. Los Glaciares National Park and Reserve are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
