Welcome, I will talk about the beautiful, and gigantic Mount Aconcagua. I will talk about it and I will show you some photos and links in which you can find information about the Mt. Aconcagua.
The Mount Aconcagua is situated in South America just in the border of Chile and Argentina. The Mt Aconcagua is the biggest mountain in the southern and the Western Hemisphere. The Mt Aconcagua is in the Andes Mountains and its an extinct volcano of 22,834 ft (6960 m). The Cerro Yogan is the highest peak in Tierra Del Fuego and its only8,100 ft (2,467).
The Mt. Aconcagua was formed when the Andes formed by a Oceanic-Continental divergent. The Nasca plate and the South American plate. Then by the time as the plates continue moving the Mt. Aconcagua was formed.
Mt Aconcagua is in the center of the Parque Provincial Aconcagua that is one of the most beautiful parks or protected areas in Argentina. The park is found in the province of Mendoza and its about 71,000 hectares (156,000 acres).
The Mt Aconcagua is one of the “7 summits” and its one of the favorite mountains to climb and to prepare to climb the Himalayas do to its elevation , climate, and geographic conditions.
The history of the Mountain is found in the ancient Andean cultures. This Mountain was an Incan Temple and thus. Relics such as a frozen mummy have been found near the peak of the Mount Aconcagua and enough evidence to tell that there have been primitives there.
The name of Aconcagua comes from “Ackon Cahuak” ffrom the indigenous and then by the time it have been translated to “The Sentinel Stone.” Other people call it “El Gigante de America” (Giant of America).
