It is 3,500 km from Quebrada de Humahuaca, the northernmost place here, to Ushuaia, the southernmost. Aconcagua has company: Mendoza and Tupungato Volcano are both less than 120 km away. Quebrada de Humahuaca is on its own, 1,150 km from the nearest other place, Mendoza.
This is a hard set: nine of the eleven photos are rated hard or expert. The hard ones include Caminito, Buenos Aires; Iguazú Falls; and Mendoza. The easy one is Aconcagua. Ushuaia and Perito Moreno Glacier are rated expert. Ushuaia and Perito Moreno Glacier have the largest scoring circles, 150 km, so getting the area right is enough for full points.
