Sunrise in Torres del Paine.

Sunrise in Patagonia, in Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park. First light catches the snow on Paine Grande, at left, and the sharp towers of the Cuernos del Paine, at center, turning them pink and orange against a still-pale sky.

The lake in the foreground is calm enough to hold the whole ridge upside down, alpenglow included.

The photograph was taken from a spot near the hotel Explora Patagonia Torres del Paine. The place card links to the hotel, not the exact vantage point.
