💁🏻♀️ 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.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@esoastronomy/117188901915946474
The video, illuminated by the low-lying sun, shows not only the unusual #snow ❄️ cover but also the dense clouds, which are extremely rare in one of the driest places on Earth. The observatories are built there precisely because the dry conditions offer the best possible prerequisites for #astronomical observations https://www.heise.de/en/news/Extremely-Large-Telescope-after-snowstorm-Images-show-white-Atacama-Desert-11435246.html

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 💧☠️ In the Argentinian #Andes, San Antonio de los Cobres residents drink #water with #arsenic levels 20 times the safe limit.
#Uppsala University researchers found they carry a #gene variant that turns arsenic into a form their bodies can safely flush out.
