One of my all-time favorite images, captured in one of the most remote corners of the Earth.
This fiery sunset unfolded at 16,000 feet during an 11-day, self-supported trek in Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash.
I carried a 60-pound pack the entire way, grinding up and down passes between 13,000 and 17,000 feet.
The effort was relentless—I lost nearly 10 pounds over the course of the journey—but the rewards were unforgettable.

Towering nearly 6,000 feet above camp rise the giants Yerupajá (21,768 ft),
Peru’s second-highest peak and one of the most beautiful mountains on Earth, Siula Grande (20,845 ft).
The latter was made famous by Joe Simpson’s legendary survival story, Touching the Void.
Simpson and his partner, Simon Yates, camped at this very lake before their fateful climb.
Knowing that history unfolded right here made the moment—and this image—even more powerful.
