View from the Mirador de Las Torres in SW direction to the Torres del Paine reflecting in the Lago Torres. The towers are from left to right Torre Sur (2500 m), Torre Central (2460 m), and Torre Norte (2260 m). They consist of bright granitic rocks, evolved from magma that intruded the dark sedimentary rocks exposed in the right portion of the photo.
