Lithograph number: 13

Comments: The basic idea came from FC0223 Lost in The Andes from 1949. In the painting Barks allowed himself a few additions: Scrooge was not a member of the story's expedition and the Junior Woodchucks (represented by the flag) were not even invented at the time. Furthermore, none of the square eggs in the story were golden ones.
