Abanico Mount 1
The photo shows the Abanico (Fan) Mount. This mountain is a typical example of a volcanic neck exposed by erosion. On its walls columnar basalts can clearly seen creating a beautiful and not very usual texture to the views of turists. The mountain lies on one side of Lacar Lake in Lanin National Park (Neuquen province, Patagonia, Argentina).
