Pissis

Monte Pissis rises in the high desert Andes, a vast volcanic massif among the mountains of northwestern Argentina. Despite the aridity of the surrounding landscape, its great elevation allows snow and ice to persist on its slopes. The massif separates the basin of Laguna Verde to the north from the headwaters of the Vinchina and Bermejo rivers to the south. Its exposed heights are a formidable part of the Andean frontier.
