Topographic Architecture of Cerro San Lorenzo

Cerro San Lorenzo, also known as Monte San Lorenzo or Mount Cochrane at 3,706 metres (12,159 ft), is the second highest peak in Patagonia, straddling the border between Chile and Argentina. Towering above the Patagonian steppes with a massive topographic prominence of 3,319 metres, it is an isolated giant surrounded by four heavily crevassed glaciers. In December 1943, sixty-year-old Salesian missionary and explorer Father Alberto María De Agostini led the historic first ascent with mountain guides Alejandro Hemmi and Heriberto Schmoll, overcoming brutal gales and treacherous sérac falls.

Geographical & Glacial Context: Situated in the central Patagonian Andes between Cochrane, Chile and Lago Posadas, Argentina, rising dramatically east of the Northern Patagonian Icefield.
