Atacama Large Millimeter Array Science Preserve

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is an astronomical interferometer of 66 radio telescopes in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, which observe electromagnetic radiation at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. The array has been constructed on the 5,000 m (16,000 ft) elevation Chajnantor plateau – near the Llano de Chajnantor Observatory and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment. This location was chosen for its high elevation and low humidity, factors which are crucial to reduce noise and decrease signal attenuation due to Earth's atmosphere. ALMA provides insight on star birth during the early Stelliferous era and detailed imaging of local star and planet formation.

Laguna Lejía

Chile > Antofagasta Region > Provincia de El Loa > San Pedro de Atacama

Lejía Lake is a circular, shallow lake at an elevation of 4,325 metres (14,190 ft) with a surface area of 1.9 square kilometres (0.73 sq mi) or 2 square kilometres (0.77 sq mi). It is a polymictic lake which freezes over occasionally and whose waters are turned over quickly, mainly through evaporation. Winds…

Lascar

Chile > Antofagasta Region > Provincia de El Loa > San Pedro de Atacama

Large lava flows are noticeable on the flanks of the volcano, with a total of eight lava flows recognized. They extend from the summit craters, although none of them appear to be associated with the currently active crater. Flows from the first stage of Lascar's activity are exposed at its western foot, while…
