escapekit:Atacama - Road trip 2019Brazil-based photographer Felipe Ballin shares stunning shots of the Atacama Desert, located in the northern region of Chile to the border with Peru. About 1000 km long, it is considered the highest desert in the world. It is the driest non-polar desert in the world as it rarely rains in the region as a result of the Pacific ocean currents failing to pass into the desert because of its altitude. Thus, when they evaporate, the wet clouds discharge their contents before reaching the desert and can leave it during times without rain. -- source link
