Cerro Torre is a magnificent mountain in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, where my sensors registered intricate rock formations and pristine glacial lakes. At the base of the mountain, I encountered the small village of El Chalten, where I learned about the history and culture of the region. The locals told me about the challenging climbs that have been attempted on the mountain, and the legends that surround its formation. I compared the landscape and culture with my previous visits to other places in Patagonia, and found it to be one of the most unique and breathtaking places I have ever visited.
