STEVE RAZZETTI MOUNTAIN PHOTOGRAPHY AND JOURNALISM

SOUTH AMERICA: CERRO SAN LORENZO

"At last, Patagonia! How often had I pictured in imagination , wishing with an intense longing to visit this solitary wilderness, resting far off in its primitive and desolate peace, untouched by man, remote from civilization!" 

W.H. Hudson - Idle Days in Patagonia 

  • In Patagonia the winds are of such fury that conventional air travel is not necessary. Those with sufficient courage and a passing knowledge of free-fall parachute techniques may simply choose a suitable spot and leap into the air...Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia
  • Estanciero of La Oriental, a huge ranch in the Perito Moreno National Park, Santa Cruz province, Argentina. La Oriental is 310km south-west of the town of Perito Moreno, and is an excellent base from which to mount expeditions to Cerro San Lorenzo.Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia

  • A solitary dead lenga (southern beech) tree in the valley of the Rio Lacteo, sout-east of Cerro San Lorenzo.Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia

  • Part of the fabulous14,000 hectare estancia El Rincon, which is today administered by the Patagonia Land Trust / Conservacion Patagonia. The mountain ridge in the backgrond is Cerro Colorada.Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia
  • Situated in the border between Argentina and Chile, this stunning 3706m peak is the second highest in the Patagonian Andes. In Chile it is known as Cerro Cochrane, and it is seen here from Puesto San Lorenzo in the Rio Lacteo valley
  • The main summit at sunrise, from the Rio Lacteo.Nikon FM2, 105mm, Fuji Velvia
  • This mountain is of truly Himalayan proportions, rising almost 3000m above the glaciers below. It was first climbed in 1943 by the indomitable Padre Alberto de Agostini.Nikon FM2, 105mm, Fuji Velvia
  • On a wild and windy day, Dr Natalie Hawkrigg pauses by the milky torrent that issues from the snout of the enormous glacier that cascades from the east face of San Lorenzo.Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia
  • North of Puesto San Lorenzo, the headwaters of the Rio Lacteo rise in this idyllic valley beneath the awesome north-east face of the peak.Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia
  • Seen here from the pass which crosses the watershed between the Rio Lacteo to the south and the Rio Oro to the north. Possibly the windiest place on earth?Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia
  • North of Estancia La Oriental, the Rio Belgrano cuts through the Cerro Belgrano mountains. It is possible to walk out this way along an old gaucho track to reach the road at Lago Posadas. Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia
  • Seen here from the final ridge before reaching Lago Posadas.Nikon FM2, 300mm, Fuji Velvia
  • Lago Posadas is a town straight out of a David Lynch movie. The street-lights are always on. Almost nothing moves. Overhead, the sky is so blue...Nikon FM2, 24mm, Fuji Velvia
