this nonpeak but high andean tripoint of the
argentinian province of santa cruz with the chilean
regions of aisen & magallanes
for short
is possibly mapped well enough here
http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/mapcenter/map.aspx?TextLatitude=-49.2833563147267&TextLongitude=-73.0837617795668&TextAltitude=7&TextSelectedEntity=6467&SearchEnc=false&MapStyle=Comprehensive&MapSize=Large&MapStyleSelectedIndex=0&searchTextMap=cerro+torre&MapStylesList=Comprehensive&ZoomOnMapClickCheck=on&ResultsListbox=-49.2833563147267%3B-73.0837617795668%3B7%3B6467%3BFitzroy+%28peak%29%2C+South+America%3BLarge%3BComprehensive
to gather
hopefully correctly
that it is situated between
& just north & west respectively of
cerro torre aka pablo sepulveda & monte fitzroy aka
chalten
&
that it must therefore be just over the horizon in the
first few pix here
http://www.photoseek.com/Argentina.html
while possibly in plain view in one of the others from
the neighborhood

& some of these pix of the same mountains in direct
sunlight were evidently taken from much closer to the
actual tripoint

both of the overshadowing peaks tho
from which the tripoint is probably sightable with a
good enough map
& visible in clear enough weather even if unmarked
are famous in their own right
