Torres del Paine

A tourist admires one of the natural wonders of South America, the Torres (or Towers) del Paine rise above the Patagonian plains as a testament to the power of glacial erosion and geological uplift. The central tower rises some 1000m vertically from its base, seen here from across the blue waters of Lake Amarga. Amarga means bitter in Spanish, due to the salty nature of the lake's waters.
