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

Au mois d’août, l’Atacama (Chili) a connu des chutes de neige, un phénomène très inhabituel dans cette région parmi les plus arides du monde. Si le sommet du volcan Licancabur (ici à gauche) est parfois coiffé d’un chapeau blanc, il est fort rare que la neige descende jusqu’à son pied, comme sur cette image satellite capturée le 14 août dernier.
 Ce manteau blanc souligne les « pressure ridges » à la surface des coulées de lave visqueuse qui rayonnent depuis le sommet. Ces structures en arc de cercle se forment perpendiculairement à l’écoulement. Leur morphologie rappelle celle des ogives glaciaires, même si le processus de genèse est différent.

My tax €€€ at work in the best possible sense - real science, leading to real progress and understanding.
