Granite Pinnacles of Patagonia

Granite Pinnacles of Patagonia
The sheer granite faces of theTorres del Paine National Park soar nearly 2,000 meters (nearly 6,562 feet) from the Patagonian steppe. These sharp peaks, along with numerous mountain lakes and vast expanses of ice masses in Chile's Patagonia region, are remnants of the monumental forces of the last Ice Age.
