April 4, 2023
- Program: Atacama Desert - The Atacama desert (in Chile) is the driest place on earth, and the Altiplano (Bolivia and its neighbors) features mountain lagoons, thermal fields, and the Uyuni salt flats - 30,000 square kilometers, at an altitude of 12,000 feet, so flat (no more than 1 meter variation over the entire huge area) that satellites use it to figure out how far up they are. Sometimes the salt flats have a 2 inch water surface, which provides spectacular mirror views in all directions. Rich Miller will present some images from a recent trip, and talk about how it feels to stand in 2 inches of ice cold water for 2 hr waiting for the sun to come up.
