Up at 5am to travel to a national park in Chile, called Torres del Paine, named after the three so-called towers that were formed by a "granite intrusion". Don't ask me any more, please. All you need to know is that there are all these mountains and then these three huge granite thingies. Too cloudy to get a clear shot of them but the scenery in general here is pretty special. Desert, lakes and mountains. One grumble, however. Did a day-trip with other backpackers and spent 15 hours in a bus and only one hour walking. Grrrrrrrr.
THING I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE TODAY:
The ice in this park recedes by about 100 square metres a day
