Mt. Aconcagua, Argentina: Highest point (6,960 m) in S. America. Layers of rock on the flanks of this uplifted block can be discerned in this detailed view. The deep, sharp valley heading toward the viewer is the principal pass over the Andes at this latitude. The mountain resort of Uspallata is just NE of the fork in the valley at right center. Ice-capped volcanic peaks Amarillo, Mercedario and Ansilta are in the foreground.
