Description: A dramatic view of the many peaks of Colombia’s Santa Marta massif... The highest of these (approximately 5700 m, 18,700 feet), named for Christopher Columbus, is so high that it supports a small but permanent snow cap (image far left), even though it lies only ten degrees north of the Equator. The summits are so high that trees cannot grow—landscapes appear gray because only grass and small shrubs can survive the cold....
