Description

Wikipedia

Cerro La Mesa or La Mesa or Cerro de la Mesa is a mountain in the Cordillera de la Ramada range of the Andes, in Argentina. It has a height of 6,180 metres (20,276 ft). La Mesa means table in Spanish. The name of the mountain comes its flat and long summit ridge (there are six summits, the 6200m being the highest). Despite the dry climate of the area, there are significant glaciers flowing down the southern and the eastern flank of the mountain. Its slopes are within the administrative boundaries of the Argentinean city of Calingasta, Province of San Juan.
