La Rinconada, Peru, the highest permanently inhabited settlement in the world, is a place where only the hardest can survive. The settlement is more than 16,000 feet above sea level, perched atop Mount Ananea in the Peruvian Andes. It spends much of the year in sub-zero temperatures.

Jordi Koalitic, a Spanish photographer, decided to show what it takes to make a shot that thousands of people will like, and it is surprising how little is needed to make an original photo!
