Walk on Mars
A man is seen walking along the safety barrier rocks through El Tatio geyser field.
The driest desert on Earth, Atacama is home to El Tatio geyser field. Located at 4,320m above sea level within the Andres Mountains, El Tatio is the third largest geyser field in the world, and the largest in the southern hemisphere. El Tatio itself is a geothermal field with many geysers, hot springs, and associated sinter deposits. The vents are sites of populations of extremophile microorganisms and have been studied as analogs for early Earth and possible life on Mars.
