Topographic Architecture of Nevado Sajama
Nevado Sajama is an immense 6,542-metre extinct stratovolcano and the highest mountain in Bolivia, rising majestically above the arid high plains of Sajama National Park. First climbed in October 1939 by Austrian alpinist Joseph Prem and fellow climber Wilfrid Kuehm, the mountain features vast fields of ice penitentes, sub-zero winds, and rare high-altitude Polylepis dwarf forests along its flanks. Sajama stands as an isolated giant near the Chilean frontier.
