Mt. Fitz Roy or Cerro Chalten (The smoking mountain) as the locals call it, was just waking up to some nice dappled light when I took this shot. This peak was first climbed in 1952 and it remains among the most technically challenging mountains on Earth for mountaineers, thanks to its sheer granite face and extraordinary high winds.
