Det låter nästan som ett aprilskämt, men tänk om det är sant? Att Aconcagua inte är högsta toppen i Sydamerika? Klätterturister som plötsligt byter resmål, 7-summit projekt som måste kompletteras, skulle vara lite festligt. Förmodligen är det väl inte så, men i alla fall:
"What if Aconcagua isn't the highest Peak in South America? Aconcagua, considered highest peak of the American continent, should be relegated to a “second best” status according to some Chilean sources who have created a heated controversy in the country. Local “Andes magazine” has published testimonies from climbing pioneers stating that nevado Ojos del Salado is not only taller than Aconcagua, but also a 7000er – the only one in America."
