Participants carry blocks of glacial ice on their backs down the 5, 790 meter-high volcano to the town. The annual competition evolved from the tradition of ice harvesting to make ice cream, a practice that died with the advent of electric ice-makers. REUTERS/Guillermo Granja (ECUADOR) - GM1DTJMCZOa

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a breathtaking scene on the slopes of the majestic Cayambe volcano in Ecuador. Against the backdrop of towering peaks and pristine snow, a group of determined individuals partake in the exhilarating Ruta del Hielo (Ice Route) competition. The image captures their arduous journey as they navigate through challenging terrain, carrying blocks of glacial ice on their backs. With each step, they descend from the staggering height of 5,790 meters towards the nearby town. This annual event has its roots deeply embedded in tradition - an age-old practice that once thrived but faded away with modern technology. Once upon a time, these very same slopes were frequented by ice harvesters who collected ice to make delectable treats like ice cream. However, with the advent of electric ice-makers, this ancient craft became obsolete and was nearly forgotten. The Ruta del Hielo competition serves as a poignant reminder of this lost art form while celebrating both human resilience and nature's wonders. Photographer Guillermo Granja skillfully captures not only the physical challenges faced by these participants but also their unwavering determination and connection to their cultural heritage. As we gaze at this remarkable image frozen in time, we are reminded that traditions may change or fade away over time but can still be honored through events like these – where people walk along history's path while embracing nature's grandeur.
