Icy Recession
Sunset over Laguna Carhuacocha. Peaks of Siula grande (6344m.) at left, Yerupaja (6634m.) centre, Yerupaja Chico to the right, and a partial view of the pyramid of Jirishanca (6094m.) at the right edge. A better photo of Jirishanca coming soon. The glaciers used to descend the slopes much further down, they are melting and receding up the slopes and may be melted completely in the next decade.
