The superpramo of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy National Park, in Colombia, with rocky slopes of Cretaceous (AlbianAptian) sedimentary quartzitic sandstone bedrock and shales with occasional limestone inclusions. Espeletia lopezii Cuatrec. grows here in a pit at the base of the vertical slopes of the Ritacuba Blanco peak.

In memory of Alexander von Humboldt

Let his passion for the natural world in general, and the links between mountains, climate and biodiversity in particular, continue to inspire many generations of students to come.
