Mt. Fitz Roy at sunrise

Oct 20 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

There are many angles and endless compositions when photographing Mt. Fitz Roy in Argentina – this is one of them. My photo tour group got up before dawn; we left the hotel at 4am to climb up to photograph this beautiful view at sunrise. The first mile was a significant incline, and then for the next 4 or 5 miles it was flat. I’d been here a few times before, and sometimes the mountain is clearly visible and sometimes there are clouds. Even though in this shot we can’t see the peak, I think the clouds add a lot. My camera settings were 1.6 seconds, f/22, and 100 ISO. FYI, this mountain was named for Robert Fitz Roy, the captain of the HMS Beagle, the ship on which Charles Darwin sailed to South America.
