The good old Washington Post has announced the results of its 2012 Travel Photo Contest, and I’m very excited to report that one of my photographs is a finalist. After receiving nearly 1,400 entries, the Post selected four winning photos and 11 finalists—one of which was taken by yours truly.

This was the awesome reward for a final ascent that gained 400 vertical meters in a single kilometer. Can you spot the two little guys at the water’s edge? • #WeekenderInPatagonia #fitzroy #lagunadelostres #elchalten #patagonia #argentina #losglaciares #modernoutdoors #mytinyatlas #ourcamplife #optoutside
This was the best water I’ve ever tasted in my life, from an electric blue pool in the middle of the Perito Moreno Glacier. Thank you @hieloyaventura for the amazing experience! • #WeekenderInPatagonia #peritomoreno #peritomorenoglacier #glaciarperitomoreno #losglaciares #elcalafate #calafate #argentina #patagonia #bigice #modernoutdoors #optoutside #passionpassport #mytinyatlas
Such a serene scene that in no way depicts the exhausting 26 miles we hiked on this day. After climbing the steep base of this trail, we ran into a new acquaintance we had made a few days prior. He was kind enough to let us know that the trail had earlier-than-advertised closing times, and that we were still about an hour and a half from a section that would be closing in 45 minutes (that section was yet another hour from the viewpoint, which would be closing shortly thereafter). Faced with the unthinkable prospect that we may miss seeing the actual Torres del Paine while in Torres del Paine, we felt we had no choice but to run. Up one of the toughest sections of trail in the whole park. By the end, our run had slowed to more of a painful stumble with knees, ankles, and muscles on fire. But we somehow made it up here to see this incredible view with 15 minutes to spare. A big thanks to the guy who took the time to warn us... it was a great reminder of how nice it is to see the same familiar faces day after day while hiking a route like this. • #WeekenderInPatagonia #wtrek #torresdelpaine #torresdelpainenationalpark #patagonia #chile #ourcamplife #modernoutdoors #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations
