ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY, THE WORK OF PEPPER K. ETTERS

South America: Argentina

Parque Nacional Los Glaciares is one of the most rugged and inspiring collections of scenery in the world. Juting out of the vast windswept pampas, monsterous advancing glaciers carve through huge granite towers in an awesome display of mother nature's artistic ability. To stand among these creations is a humbling experience indeed.

Cerro Fitz Roy in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina is perhaps one of the most dramatic mountains in the world.
   
The granite spires of Cerro Tore are some of the most awe inspiring peaks in the world.
