The Most Spectacular Peaks in the Andes

This view was taken looking east as the station was flying approximately 100 kilometers off the Peruvian coast and shows Cordillera Huayhuash (pronounced Why-wash). Here clouds are banked up on the east side, snow covers all higher slopes and mountain peaks, and glaciers occupy lower slopes. This prominent but short mountain range (25 kilometers in length) boasts twenty peaks of remarkable steepness and ridge sharpness. Although only 100 kilometers from the coastline, six of the peaks reach above 6,000 meters (more than 19,500 feet), the highest of which is Nevado Yerupaja, Peru's second highest peak, variously estimated as 6,617 and 6,635 meters high.

Generally considered the most spectacular peak in South America, Yerupaja is so steep that it has seldom been climbed. The Daily Galaxy via NASA.

Peter Cairns / Nature's Best Photography Ospreys are a major European conservation success story.

During summer months, these raptors may be seen hunting over rivers, lakes, and estuaries before diving into the water—talons outstretched—to catch their prey.

Their diet consists mostly of fish, but can include snakes, frogs, and other animals. Nature's Best Photography: African elephant on alert in Kenya.
