Mike Kintgen:
Continuing north we took a break from driving our own vehicle and joined a tour to Volcan Maipu,  an amazing place with a 5000m+ volcano sitting in a megacaldera of an extinct super volcano.  We saw many high alpines here.

North of Maipu we travelled north to Mendoza city and Aconcagua before turning around at Passo Cristo Redentor on the Chilean border.

A super photo essay from Mike showing  some of the plants the SRGC exploration grant enabled him to study. 
It is exciting that the SRGC can contribute towards trips like this to help Mike continue the DBG project.

Mike will be undertaking a  NARGS East Coast Speaker Tour this October and you can learn more about him here :  : https://www.nargs.org/speaker/mike-kintgen
