The mountains can be so seductively peaceful sometimes, it’s easy to forget how quickly that can change. Something to keep in mind as we travel though life. Not a breath of wind at Berg Lake for blue hour on the first night after we had hiked up there. From an altitude of 1,646 m (5,400 ft) the North Face of Mt Robson rises a further 2308m (7572m) out of the lake to a total height of 3,954 m (12,972 ft). Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. Yes that is a little iceberg floating in the lake. The shot was taken with a Canon EOS 6D Mark II with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM at ISO 800, at 16.0 mm, f/5, and 25s exposure time.

Such a great shot of Berg Lake!
Trekking in the Himalaya was an adventure, a challenge that allowed me to discover where are my limits and to see how far I can push myself. This is a photo I took while I was walking slower than my guide, I was suffering a lot but the view was worth the pain.
Location: the Himalayan ranges, Nepal
This was the sunset over Monte Fitz Roy when I was hiking back to the village of El Chaltén in Argentinian Patagonia.
Incredible! I've been there too, it's rare to see Fitz Roy without the clouds covering its top.
I was lucky right? :) That's why it's called "Chaltén", the smoke/mist shrouded peak!
Hiking in the Rockies yields all sorts of weather. Even in the summer (this photo) you can get a dump of snow that makes everything wet and slushy.
Thanks for the contest!

This was my reward for climbing Matterhorn peak. This is how the things look like when you are 4478m asl. :)

Saw this on the winners post - just wanted to say "what a cool idea!"
Cheers from the top of Looking Glass Rock. The 6 miles and 1,689 ft vertical gain are worth it.
