VIEDMA GLACIER
Ian Plant backpacked for three days to reach a 2,000-foot cliff above Lago Viedma, then handheld his Canon EOS 5D Mark II with 24–105mm f/4L Canon EF lens in gale-force winds to make the exposure of 1/125 sec at f/11. Easier way to see the glacier: a boat tour. Ian Plant

LENGA FOREST, RIO ELÉCTRICO TRAIL Plant combined two exposures for shadow and highlight detail, blending in a blurred copy to soften the light. Tripod-mounted EOS 5D Mark II with 17–40mm f/4L Canon EF lens; bracketed around 1 sec at f/13, ISO 50. Ian Plant

LAGUNA DE LOS TRES BELOW MONTE FITZ ROY Small aperture, f/16, created a diffraction star around the sun. Same gear as above; 1/100 sec at ISO 100. Ian Plant

ICEBERG BELOW CERRO TORRE The author used an overall 5-stop ND filter to blur the moving clouds, plus a 2-stop split ND to balance the sky and water exposure. Same rig as opposite on a tripod, 10 sec at f/16, ISO 100. Ian Plant
