Caption/Description
Shadow of Mt. Sajama reaches the horizon at sunrise, when seen from the 21,463 ft. summit looking across the border into Chile. The outline of this symmetrical volcano appears as a perfect pyramid. Like most Andean peaks, Sajama's glacier is rapidly disappearing due to a changing climate.
