Laguna Verde

Laguna Verde (4329m) and Volcán Licancabur (5920m) whose crater lake is one of the highest in the world. The ascent of Licancabur starts from the saddle on the left.
Laguna Verde gets its colour from mineral suspensions, among them lead and arsenic. Because of this there is no bird life at Laguna Verde whereas nearby Laguna Blanca has numerous flamingoes.

Laguna Verde (4329m) und Volcán Licancabur (5920m), dessen Kratersee einer der weltweit höchstgelegenen ist. Der Aufstieg zum Licancabur beginnt am Sattel links.
Die Laguna Verde hat ihre Farbe vom hohen Mineraliengehalt (Magnesium, Calciumcarbonat, Blei und Arsen). Dies ist auch der Grund, weshalb dort keine Vögel zu sehen sind, während sich in der gleich danebenliegenden Laguna Banca jede Menge Flamingos aufhalten.

Gudrun ^club has replied to trester88 ^club

Schönen Dank, Wilhelm! Wir hatten sehr gute und lange Höhenanpassung, das hier hat mir gar nichts mehr ausgemacht. Beim ersten Aufstieg auf über 4000 und bei der ersten Übernachtung hatte ich mal ein paar Anwandlungen (Überlkeit), aber das legte sich. Coca-Tee hilft:-)
