The Andean climate is influenced by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, which are associated with a band of warm water, which develops in the equatorial Pacific. El Niño events generally produce intense rainfall at the low altitudes along the Pacific side of the Andes, while areas above 2,000 m receive less rain and experience higher temperatures than normal (Garreaud, 2009). The strongest El Niño rainfall anomalies occur during the austral summer (December–January–February) and are associated with heavy rainfall and flooding along the coast of northern Peru and southern Ecuador (Sulca et al., 2017). During La Niña years (when the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Pacific is lower than normal) the opposite generally occurs (Garreaud, 2009). In the central and southern Andes ENSO has a less marked influence, but El Niño has been associated, for example, with increased rainfall in Central Chile (Verbist et al., 2010; Robertson et al., 2013) and increased streamflow in Patagonia (Rivera et al., 2018). In the Tropical Andes, though, variations of glacier mass balance are subject to ENSO (Veettil et al., 2017).

Siempre me fijo en ese dibujo cuando la micro pasa por ahí. Ojalá no lo quiten nunca o, si lo reemplazan, que sea por otro dibujo.
In the Andes, the greatest number of glaciers is found along the border between Chile and Argentina (approximately 4,000). A smaller number are found in the Tropical Andes, which constitute more than 95 per cent of the world’s tropical glaciers (Vuille et al., 2008). The largest number of tropical glaciers is located in the Peruvian Andes, with the Quelccaya Ice Cap located in the Cordillera Vilcanota being the largest single ice body in Peru (Hastenrath, 1998).

Y como me lo promentí, conocí el pueblo de Andes, donde nació el profesor de mi tío, el que tantos poemas dejó, el que creó el nadaismo, el que le dijo a Colombia que todo estaba mal, el primero de esos grandes.
"No pasa nada, mi amor. Sobre la terraza vuela un helicóptero, pero no estoy seguro. Puede ser una mosca. Sólo el reloj me habla de este minuto de la eternidad en que tu párpado se cierra y la tierra desaparece. Sucedía cuando te besaba y éramos felices. Tal vez ahora seas feliz en otra parte, sin mí. ¿O eres infeliz? Entonces, ¿qué hacer para seguir viviendo?"
Me encontré con una Biblioteca, y con unos artistas buscando hacer un homenaje real, pues su tumba no tiene nada, ni sus restos según muchos dicen. El pueblo huele a café con hierba.
Si le interesa apoyar a los artistas, me cuenta y yo le paso el dato.
Gracias,
La calota glaciar Quelccaya del Perú, situada a 13,5º de latitud sur, es la mayor calota glaciar tropical del mundo. Su retroceso ha sido rápido; estas imágenes captadas por el Thematic Mapper del satélite Landsat 5 muestran la diferencia de extensión durante un período de 22 años, de 1988 a 2010.

Estuvo increible el recital de Divididos, el baterista nuevo es un loco de aquellos dandole a la bata. Mollo y Arnedo, con la buena onda de siempre. El momento mas caliente de la noche...fue cuando tocaron "Cielitdo lindo" se armaron varios pogos en el campo y todos saltaban como si estuvieran en un ritual indigena...muy bueno!
Our route from São Paulo was via Santiago (Chile), so we were able to admire the Andes from the air 4 times in all (twice going and twice on the way back). A fantastic experience, this must be the most impressive mountain range I've ever seen.
