Description | A cluster of beech trees comprised of Nothofagus antarctica (Antarctic beech) and Nothofagus betuloides (Magellan's beech) at 2,500 ft (750m) elevation. The trees occupy a shallow crater at the summit of a rocky hill, somewhat sheltered by the steep sides. Snow can be seen on the ground at this elevation, with a snow-covered mountain range visible in the background of the image and the Angostura Inglesa (English Narrows) seen at the left edge. |
