14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Somewhere over the rainbow

This photo was taken on Monday 20 June 2016.It was taken in the Andes Mountains at a site known to the Peruvians as Rainbow Mountain. It is a newly discovered site that is apparently yet to be geogically surveyed. It was a tough hike over 20km and at an altitude of 16,466ft /5020ft above sea level. Absolutely breathtaking! Such a challenge but well worth the view. Hope you enjoy!
