“There is something about the expanse of Patagonia, a kind of haunting soulfulness, that affects you physically. Few places grab you like this and hold on so tightly and for so long.” * Ms. Kristine Tompkins-former CEO Patagonia Inc.
As I was approaching the airport at El Calafate, Argentina I was struck by the vistas, the indescribable color of Lago Argentino and the vastness of undisturbed land. To see this land for the first time is to recognize what a small part we as humans play in this world and how ultimately nature is what matters to life on this planet. The stark beauty of Patagonia crosses borders; its land is buffeted by the winds of the southern oceans; the high plains and the soaring peaks and granite towers make it one of the most inspiring places in the world. The untouched magnificence of nature envelops all those who travel there and there is no way to describe this in words alone.
These landscape images are infused with icy blasts, freezing rain, and the breakthrough of the sun through the constant clouds that provide sudden glimpses of the Andes. The horizon is often a layer of atmosphere that lays upon other layers, glaciers rise out of the water to a backdrop sky of wintery black, clouds rolling through the mountains. It is stark, beautiful, and often unforgiving.
