Torres del Paine National Park: Day 4

The most spectacular part of the 'W' has to be the Valle Frances. After waking from a restless night in the wind we headed to Campo Italiano, set up camp and then headed up the valley. As you can see, the bright blue sky continued for a second consecutive day... As did the gale-force winds. I've never experienced anything like it. Then again, I've never had the misfortune of being caught in the middle of a tornado or hurricane.
