Fitz Roy, also known as Cerro Fitz Roy or Mount Fitz Roy, is a striking granite peak situated in the awe-inspiring landscape of Patagonia. Rising dramatically near the Argentine town of El Chaltén, Fitz Roy is characterized by its jagged spires and sheer vertical faces, presenting a formidable challenge to climbers. Its name pays tribute to Robert FitzRoy, the captain of HMS Beagle during Charles Darwin's famous voyage.
