Packet 2: Tossup 7

Martín Chambi photographed parts of one of these objects being distributed by ukuku tricksters for the Quyllurit’i (“koy-yoo-REET-ee”) festival. Tourists can take a day trip to see one of these objects called Pastoruri in Huascarán National Park. Giuseppe Garibaldi names one of these objects in a so-called “alley” near Puerto Williams. (10[1])These objects formed during an event named for Lake (-5[1])Llanquihue (10[1])(“yahn-KEE-way”) after a period named for Valdivia. Coropuna and Quelccaya are the largest tropical examples of these (10[1])landforms, (-5[1])which name (-5[1])an Argentine national park (-5[1])across the (10[1])border from Torres del Paine (“PIE-nay”). An Argentine law (10[1]-5[1])limits mining around these landforms, like the Petito Moreno (10[2])and one called “Polish” (10[1])for a (10[2])1934 (10[2])mountaineering expedition (10[1])to Aconcagua. For 10 points, the (-5[1])peaks of Cotopaxi (“koh-toh-PAHK-see”) and Chimborazo are summited by traversing what shrinking objects’ crevasses? (10[3])■END■ (10[5])
