Description
A vertical shot of rock formations in the Cordillera de Sal near San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile, with the conical Licancabur (5915m / 19,410ft) in the distance. This particular area is known as Valle de la Muerte / Valley of Death, the other volcano is Juriques (5705m / 18,715ft). Both peaks lies on the Bolivian border. The Atacama Desert stretches for over 1000km between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes and is the world's driest and probably oldest desert. In some areas rain has never been recorded, geological research suggests the region has been continuously arid for many millions of years.
