在地球的另外一面,在遥远的南美洲之南,有一片神奇的高原,依然保持着空旷与寒冷,这就是巴塔哥尼亚(Patagonia)。这里是地球的“边陲”,有着巨大的冰川、壮美的湖泊、冒烟的火山、陡峭的塔峰、繁密的森林和特有的动物,代表最原始的大自然。塞罗恐怖峰(Cerro Terro)和菲兹罗伊峰(Fitz Royf)近乎笔直的峭壁、直插云霄的山顶,好似两把利刃置于天地之间;百内三塔三根高达2800米花岗岩柱巍然屹立,遥相呼应着号角山的尖削山峰,展示着大自然的鬼斧神工。法国谷(Valle Francés)和格雷峡谷(Gray Canyon)汇聚了高挂的冰川、陡峭的岩壁和湛蓝的湖泊,向世人彰显着小中见大的神奇。著名的莫雷诺冰川(Glaciar Perito Moreno)更是不得不到的地方,一块块巨大的冰块从冰川上掉落沉入阿根廷湖,好像一声声震耳欲聋的响声让我们屏息凝注。
达尔文曾在《小猎犬号航海记》最后一章中写道:“我发现巴塔哥尼亚的平原常常在我眼前浮现,然而所有人都认为这些平原残破无用,只能用负面的字眼来描述它们:没有人烟,没有水,没有树,没有山,只长了一些低矮的植物。那么为何这些不毛的荒原牢牢盘踞在我记忆中呢?”当这段行程结束,这样的疑问也一定会盘旋在你的脑海中。
