Panorâmica dos Andes Mendoncinos.
Onde econtra-se mais próximo do Chile o ponto mais alto da cordilheira: O pico Aconcágua, porém o monstro de 6962m não aparece aqui. Por estar ainda 180km cordilheira adentro e estar envolto por picos elevados.
The girl with the cup is going to the only "store" in Yauri Espinar to buy sugar or flour or something for her mother. The other girl stopped her to talk. I call this my "Comadritas" portrait of life in the high Andes villages.
Desde el Pedrero en Los Andes, se ven varios cerros, Mocoén, Los Altos del cobre, El Monte Aconcagua, entre otros...

Coinciding with the worldwide launch of the new Bond film 'No Time to Die', the British Embassy held an event to celebrate the 25th film of the saga. In conjunction with Bond-related brands Triumph, Land Rover, Heineken, Smirnoff, Aston Martin, Omega and DHL, and in collaboration with Andes Films, Ambassador Louise de Sousa welcomed over 100 guests including Government authorities and representatives of the diplomatic corps, academia and the cultural sector.
Permafrost, or frozen ground, forms at high altitudes and, like glaciers, is sensitive to temperature changes. Warming, glacier retreat and permafrost thawing destabilise mountain slopes. The extent of permafrost in the Andes has not been extensively studied, which makes it difficult to predict the implications of thawing on communities and the environment. Active rock glaciers indicate the presence of permafrost and are the visual expression of permafrost creep (Barsch, 1996). The structure of rock glaciers makes them more resilient to warming than glaciers and as the climate warms they are expected to be an increasingly important contributor to river and stream flow. Rock glaciers are actually more abundant than glaciers in the central part of the Andes (Jones et al., 2018). However, Rangecroft et al. (2016) looked at the current extent and future projections for the fate of permafrost and active rock glaciers in the Bolivian Andes. They found the projected warming would result in the loss of 95 per cent of the current permafrost in Bolivia by 2050 and 99 per cent by 2099 (Rangecroft et al., 2016). These predictions include the loss of almost all of the Bolivian rock glaciers by 2099, resulting in a significant impact on water security in the country.

It was fun to do this. But it is hard to breathe at Lake Wara Wara because it is at an altitude of 4 kilometers above sea level. The higher one climbes, the more difficult it is to breathe. It also gets much colder and there is less vegetation. It is also more windy, and eventually [the hiker] will reach a high plataeu, where there are many lakes. In this place due to its altitude [the hiker] should walk slowly and drink plenty, and rest frequently.
It is also a place where a coat or sweater should be taken, but [the hiker] will probably want to remove it, the reason being is that the body generates more heat when under the stress of altitude, especially if [the hiker] is a smoker. The urge to remove the coat or sweater should be resisted firmly, the reason being is that the sheer chill of the wind against your skin going unnoticed may cause immobility of the hands, numbness and inflammation that can persist for hours after leaving the place.
It is true that the forest smells like eucalyptus and pine. The reason being, is that it is filled with eucalyptus and pine trees which both have a particularly distinct smell. Anyone who has grown up in an environment where such aromas dominate the nasal sensory input will never forget the smell and every time it is experienced will bring back a lifetime of memories.
There are also many flowers in the forest of eucalyptus and pine. It is true that I once composed a piece of music about the forest. This is it here>>>>>>> www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqGTsYXsCgU&list=PL1x1TG2vvEY...
One thing that is true is that there was one time when the forest caught on fire, and in the city the sky turned yellow and there was ash falling from the sky. I needed to go to the store to buy light globes and batteries, and my neigbourhood is close to the forest,, and the smoke was so thick I coughed very hard and I felt like I could not breathe; and arrived home gaspng for air. It is very important to be careful around bushfire smoke, even if you are safe from the fire, the reason being is that smoke inhalation can be extremely harmful.
