 
        Looking for Rolando's Breach through the Pyrenees
by Antonio Jordán, University of Seville, Sevilla, Spain
First, in English:
The Brecha de Rolando is a natural pass between Spain and France through the Pyrenees, at about 2800 m asl. The photograph was shot in one of the glacial valleys that must be traveled to reach it, at about 2,350 m asl, when we still had almost three kilometers to go. To the right of the image you can see some of the lingering glaciers.
Ahora, en español: 
La Brecha de Rolando es un paso natural entre España y Francia a través de los Pirineos, a unos 2800 m snm. La fotografía se tomó en uno de los valles glaciares que hay que recorrer para llegar a ella, a unos 2350 m snm, cuando todavía nos faltaban casi tres kilómetros para llegar. A la derecha de la imagen se pueden ver algunos de los glaciares que persisten.
