@Mountains I first visited El Chalten in 2006. It was a real frontier town then. Only 1 restaurant! Been back there 5 times since, last time in 2016. Used to go to venture onto the Patagonian Icecap....

I've seen Lautaro from far away to the south. A magnificent massif rising out of the Patagonian Icecap. Remote. Hats off to these two who managed to ski down the 2200m north face. https://explorersweb...
