Salar de Navidad is in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, the driest place on Earth. The low-lying landscape here, the salty remains of a former lake, has gone largely unchanged for millions of years, reworked only occasionally by small amounts of rain and by the sandblasting action of wind. The only life present (aside from humans who drive trucks through it to nearby mines) are colonies of cyanobacteria and other microorganisms found inside some of the small, gnarled salt formations visible in the foreground.
