Mount Seler is a mountain located on the border between Argentina and Chile in the Andes mountain range. The mountain was first climbed by Nando Parrado, a survivor of a nearby plane crash, who made the ascent with the intent of finding civilization. This was also the mountain’s first winter ascent. At the summit, he used lipstick to write “Seler” on a plastic bag, which he stuffed under a rock. Nando named the mountain after his father Seler Parrado, who was his motivation to survive.

Fernando “Nando” Seler Parrado Dolgay (born 9 December 1949) is one of the sixteen Uruguayan survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which crashed in the Andes mountains on 13 October 1972. After spending two months trapped in the mountains with the other crash survivors, he, along with Roberto Canessa, climbed through the Andes mountains over a 10-day period to find help. His efforts, supported in various ways by the entire group, have been recognized through books and other media.
