22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Gongga Snow Mountain Reflection

he photo was taken at Lenggacuo Camp at an altitude of 4,600 meters. The night before was filled with heavy rain and hail, which was very frustrating. The next morning, when we were about to pack up and leave, the clouds suddenly dissipated and Mount Gongga appeared before us. We went to the lake and saw the reflection of Mount Gongga, which looked like an ink painting.
