Aconcagua
inspires great emotion, including melancholy for climbers left
behind at this cemetery. Lauren Carter photo. We're
looking for Aconcagua. The highest peak in the Americas, it's
the one we expect will stick straight up from the rest. But it's
hard to see. An hour outside Santiago de Chile, dusk settled on
the cacti and roadside vendors selling apples and huge avocados.
By the time our car started climbing steep switchbacks, it was
already dark. Roberto drives carefully, pulling into the other
lane to pass transport trucks that flash their left lights,
signaling us to go ahead. I pull out my camera to try to press
this vast shadowy landscape into a box. I can't do it.
