Cordillera Blanca | Jatunraju glacier and Nevado Huandoy

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 Blanga, Laguna Parón. Nevado Huandoy (6395 m) appears in the central background.
