Ejército de los Andes?
editIt said:
- "Its name comes from the 4 ton Christ the Redeemer of the Andes (Cristo Redentor de los Andes) statue placed in 1904 near the entrance of the Argentine side at a height of 4,000 meters, commemorating the crossing of the Andes in 1817 by a division of the Ejército de los Andes under the command of Las Heras."
However, the article Christ the Redeemer of the Andes contradicts this, claiming the statue was raised in commemoration of the May 1902 border agreement between Argentina and Chile. Therefore I have removed the second clause. Herostratus 05:32, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
