Cordillera Blanca | Jatunraju Glacier and Nevado Huandoy

WI_pe014.jpg

Panoramic view of the bent tongue of Jatunraju Glacier, framed by a horseshoe-shaped system of moraine ridges. The former glacier tongue is considered a rock glacier due to substantial loss of ice. The moraine ridges impound the largest lake of the Cordillera Blanca, Laguna Parón. Nevado Huandoy (6395 m) appears in the central background.
