Cristo Redentor de los Andes

Cristo Redentor de los Andes
Christ the Redeemer of the Andes is a monument high in the Principal Cordillera of the Andes at 3832 metres on the border between Argentina and Chile. It was unveiled on 13 March 1904 as a celebration of the peaceful resolution of the border dispute between the two countries. In 1904, the bronze statue was moved in pieces 1200 kilometers by train, then carried up the mountains by mule.

The mountain in the background is Cerro Santa Elena (4595 m) - scanned slide, Minolta X700
