Well, I finally got around to filtering down the the very few photos that are among the best I took in my AMAZING trip to Chile, (South America).

Tge following are a mere 8 of the photos (selected with help from Zaia [Thanks Z]) and for more check out:

The Amazing Torres Del PAine. Reached suddenly after a long hike, it simply spring up from behind a wall of rubble, one of the most beautiful, indescribable things I have ever seen. (It's in my top 6

).
My puny digi-cam couldn't do it justice (Same with the glacier field which isn't shown "here").

Yes. And I am happy that some of those mountains still have snow

Have You seen the picture of the Glacier field in the full Set?

The guide told us how 4-6 YEARS ago the Ice was far, far further ahead (As in, See the icebergs at the head of This Lake?. That fucking far).
We saw 4 separate large chunks fall away over the course of 40 minutes.
Anyone denying Global warming after a visit to the Glacier fields in Chile (And melting mountains) needs his damn head examined.
It should be said though, that boat trips drinking Pinto sours with freshly crushed & picked Glacier Ice is delightful

Chile has a bit of an Ozone hole problem (one of the reasons for the amazing water shades), though with plans to dam up the 3d greatest White water rafting river on Earth (The Futa Le Fu) for more hydropower, they're trying to do something before turning into char-broth.

Thanks for the comments, and tell me how you like the linked to pics
