Andes is the longest in the world's mountains, which form a series of highland along the western coast of South America. Curious how long? Apparently more than 7,000 km with a width of 500 km. Wow!
Be visited from Wikipedia, Wednesday (06/06/2012), the Andes Mountains stretching through seven countries, namely Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Given the thousands of kilometers long, I wonder if these mountains across many countries.
There is an interesting part of this peak in the Andes Mountains, which are collections of snow with an unusual shape. The peak is located above 4,000 meters above sea level and cold temperatures make it full of snow peaks.
Uniquely, you can see the snow is not snow like the one on top Jayawijaya in Papua, Indonesia. Frozen snow on the peak of the Andes and the shape of a pointed and sharp at the edges. Just like a knife!
Locals refer to this as the sharp snow Penitentes. Penitentes is found along the Andes Mountains, especially in parts of Argentina and Chile.
If you wish, you can simply come to the Andes Mountains in the two states. Prepare physically before climbing mountains. Do not forget to wear a thick coat for a very biting cold!
Penitentes at the peak of the Andes can you see in various sizes, ranging from a few centimeters, to the size of a human being. If you see the Penitentes much higher than human size, you might have met with the Penitentes of the largest in the Andes that reach 5 feet.
The existence of Penitentes in the Andes Mountains are well known by tourists. Not a few tourists who come to the Andes just to see first hand this natural phenomenon. Now it's your turn, immediately remove the camera and capture the moment are in the middle of the Andes Mountains of snow taper.
