This photo was taken by Matias Gallardo-Sirito, a graduate student in the Economic History Department. This photo was taken on Huayna Potosi, La Paz Bolivia.

'I took this picture right before summiting my first 6000 metre mountain. Magical moments like this make the suffering of the climb to that altitude worth every second and effort. The Mountain is Huayna Potosi 45 minutes away from the city of La Paz, Bolivia. Below the clouds is the Amazon rain forest.'
