The Atacama desert in Chile is a spectacular place. There is very little vegetation, and it looks like the moon - in fact NASA tested their vehicles here. There are very big volcanoes. Almost nobody lives there, but there are some small villages on the edge of the desert. Life is hard and everything needs to be imported - food, building materials, and of course water.
In l971 it rained in the Atacama. People were amazed because the last time it rained there was 400 years earlier, in 1570! It is the driest place in the world. But in the village of Chungungo they are now getting water from the fog clouds which come in from the sea.
The sky over the Atacama desert is hardly ever cloudy, so it is one of the best places in the world to see the stars. The biggest observatory in the world is being built on top of a mountain. At night the sky is incredibly clear - you feel that there is nothing between you and Mars.
A.It is one of the best places in the world to see the stars.
B.The big problem is that there aren’t any street names.
