Description
A spectacular stormy sunset in Lauca National Park in the far north of Chile. The Park is also part of the Lauca Biosphere Reserve, recognised by UNESCO in 1981. The lighting and clouds on this particular afternoon was magnificent, some of the finest I've enjoyed in the high altiplano, a continually changing skyshow! The peak is the Parinacota volcano (6342m / 20,805ft) on the Bolivia border, said to be the highest symmetrical volcano in the world. Chungara (4,517m / 14,820ft) is one of the highest lakes in South America, the wetlands / bofedales on its shores supports a large variety of waterbirds.
