  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ❄️🏜️ In August rare #winter #storms blanketed #Chile’s #Atacama #Desert in #snow, forcing #ALMA and other observatories to suspend operations and triggering flash #floods and mudflows.

    A cutoff low paired with strengthening #ElNiño drove the #rain, flooding #Taltal with nearly 10x its annual average in three days.

  7. Memories from Februaries spent in the #Atacama desert. Team members would take nights off to recover from the heat and do laundry in town, pick up supplies at the hardware store.

    Often we had to get those foil-faced windshield covers to protect computers that would overheat in the sun.

    Driving through that otherworldly #landscape was exhilarating.
