Wow - those are some really great photos! Thanks for sharing them. The sky is so blue. Must be cold with all of that snow!
Thanks for the comment. Due to it's proximity to the Atacama desert, it was actually quite warm (this applies to a number of mountains on the Bolivia/Chile, Argentina/Chile border). While I was wearing thermals, I didn't put my fleece on until I was within about 100 m of the top. The warm conditions may also be due to the volcano still being semi-active (i.e. giving of heat), hence the venting on the trial.
Wow, that is pretty interesting! We have a volcano here in Panama, but no snow on the top of it. And thankfully it is currently sleeping...
