Sunset in Cordillera Huayhuash in Peruvian Andes.

Touching the Void (Award Winner)

Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru

One of my all-time favorite images, captured in one of the most remote corners of the Earth. This fiery sunset unfolded at 16,000 feet during an 11-day, self-supported trek in Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash. I carried a 60-pound pack the entire way, grinding up and down passes between 13,000 and 17,000 feet. The effort was relentless—I lost nearly 10 pounds over the course of the journey—but the rewards were unforgettable.

Towering nearly 6,000 feet above camp rise the giants Yerupajá (21,768 ft), Peru’s second-highest peak and one of the most beautiful mountains on Earth, Siula Grande (20,845 ft). The latter was made famous by Joe Simpson’s legendary survival story, Touching the Void. Simpson and his partner, Simon Yates, camped at this very lake before their fateful climb. Knowing that history unfolded right here — and that so few photographs have ever been taken in a place this remote — made the moment, and this image, even more powerful.

This image was awarded 'Highly Honored' in the 'Landscapes' category of the 2025 Nature’s Best Photography International Awards! The contest is one of the largest globally and features the top 100 nature images in the world from more than 20,000 entries from photographers in 62 countries. The image was chosen as one of the Top 10 in its category, and the photo will be published in the 2025 Winter Special 30th Anniversary Collectors’ Edition of Nature’s Best Photography magazine.
