A few pictures from a recent trip to Iquique in northern Chile. We were based at the foothills of the Atacama Desert, which is apparently the driest place on Earth. Having been there I understand why. The pictures of the desert don't really do the 'emptiness' of the place justice.
Some desert and a pitot tube.
Some rocks.
From a landing pad at 5500 msl straight down to the ocean in the distance.
Where's the wind from? The mountains on the horizon rise up to about 20,000 feet.
Anyone for golf?
Hopefully this will work........
It does what it says on the box.
A landing pad.
Up the coast.
