S43-151-159 - South American Coast
This photograph looks westward over the high plateau of the
southern Peruvian Andes west and north of Lake Titicaca (not in
field of view). Lima, Peru lies under the clouds just north of
the clear coastal area. Because the high Andes have been uplifted
10,000 to 13,000 feet during the past 20 million years, the
rivers which cut down to the Pacific Ocean have gorges almost
that deep, such as the Rio Ocona at the bottom of the photograph.
The eastern slopes of the Andes are heavily forested, forming the
headwaaters of the Amazon system. Smoke from burning in the Ama-
zon basin fills river valleys on the right side of the photo-
graph. Linhof camera, 90mm lens, GMT
