Topographic Architecture of Monte San Valentín
Monte San Valentín is the highest peak in Patagonia, rising to an official surveyed elevation of 4,058 metres (13,314 ft) at the head of the Northern Patagonian Icefield in Chile. Bounded by colossal hanging glaciers, severe icefalls, and ferocious Pacific storms, it commands an immense topographic prominence of 3,696 metres, making it one of the most prominent mountains on Earth. Although explored by Father Alberto María De Agostini in 1921, the summit was first reached in December 1952 by an Argentine-French expedition led by Jorge Peterek.
