Today in class when we were listening to the CD with the woman who climbed to the summit of a mountain. I remember how many times I went to the Andes Mountains in Chile. This Mountains is the longest in the world and has the Aconcagua Mount which is the highest mountain in the American Continent and it is one of the highest in the world. It is only surpassed by the Himalayas Mountains. Aconcagua Mount is estimated that was created about two hundred million years ago. It has an elevation from sea level to 6,962 meters. Unfortunately I never went to the Aconcagua. But when I studied geology in the University I went to a sector of the Andes Mountains called Termas del Flaco. Here you can see perfectly the fosil footprints of two or three dinosaurs. These fosil footprints are more than one hundred million years old.
The first picture is the Termas del Flaco and the second picture is my wife and my son in the Andes Mountains close to the Santiago City.
I hope you enjoy these pictures.
I see you tomorrow.

As usual, your photographs are magnificant! The Andes look as beautiful as the Himalayas but not as stormy. I'm sure this image is deceiving and that there are a lot of risks associated with climbing in the Andes too.
