Description
One of several streams flowing from the volcanic hot springs at Polloquere on the southeastern side of the Salar de Surire in northern Chile. The springs are more active at night and early morning, when the water reaches boiling point in several parts of the main lake. The colourful peak in the background is Cerro Capitan (4460m / 14,630ft). The Salar is a Ramsar Wetland Site and also part of the Lauca Biosphere Reserve, recognised by UNESCO in 1981.
