Licancábur Volcano in the Atacama Desert
The Licancábur Volcano near San Pedro de Atacama is located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. Although the desert is one of the driest places in the world, it contains a few oases, such as the one pictured here, where small farming communities raise livestock and grow crops with the help of irrigation.
