Here in Chilean Patagonia, mountains like the Cuernos del Paine are often shrouded in mist. But the clouds cleared and the sunset hit just right for this shot, offering us a peek at these peaks' unique geology. Ancient glaciers stripped much of this mountain chain to its granite bones. You can see this granite exposed in the broad, light-colored stripe across the base of the Cuernos (meaning 'horns'). But the glaciers spared the peaks' caps, leaving dark patches of sedimentary rock. Geologists call this feature a 'roof pendant'—we call it the crown on a majestic massif.
荒地上的美好时光
水上漂？
大海、沙滩和日落
带我飞往...
顺着强风游移
照亮迷雾
沐浴在晚霞中的海岸
鸟儿遇见海滩
