As seen from Dante Peak. The white visible on the valley floor is made of mineral
deposits; the mountains opposite are much higher and are dominated by Telescope Peak
at 3368m, some 2000m higher than the spot where I was. At over 3000m one can see
bits of snow too! Altrough it was December the 8th the temperature where I was
standing (1650m high) was some 10 degrees Celsius and in the valley there were 20-25
degrees.
