Even with not the perfect conditions, Monte Perdido is always a landmark in the horizon when trying to see the Pyrenees from a long distance.

It is a mountain that can be easily seen from Spain, but that is almost hidden behind other high peaks when is seen from France. This may be the reason for its name, as Monte Perdido is Spanish means “Lost Mountain”.

The simulation from Ulrich Deuchsle unveils all the peaks that can be seen:

This picture was taken the same day as this other one, previously publicated in this page and showing a magnificient sunset light over the Pyrenees, almost turning them in fire.
