A Frozen Morning - Laguna Torre

On 5 May 2016, I departed from El Chalten at 5:00am, I hiked in the

darkness with a full load of climb backpack (25 kg) - my journey of

climbing to Glacier Torre began. I arrived at Laguna Torre at 7:40am

and waited for my climb companion Andy.

This image was taken during my waiting for Andy's arrival.

Surprisingly, when I got there, I found Laguna Torre was completely

frozen - that was very different from what I saw 2 weeks ago. I could

see so many icy blocks everywhere along the edge of the lake. This

image captured an amazing scene during the sunrise moment.

Thanks for viewing this image,

A very beautiful photo--the light on the peaks and its reflection are wonderful, and the chunks of glowing blue ice in the foreground really make this magical. It looks like an amazing place.

A fab shot that makes the hike worthwhile. You have handled the light beautifully. Composition is spot on. Well seen and very well executed, best wishes William.

Beautiful capture among ice and warm light. Regards.

In spite of the ice and cold, it's an inviting and serene scene... Mike

Nice composition and light, well done.

Very well done Yan Zhang. Sorry we could not meet. Was in Valle Ascencio all month of April this year 2016, but did not see you. Keep going with your good photography of our Patagonia.
