Another night of observing begins at the U.S. National Science Foundation Cerro Tololo International Observatory (CTIO) in the Chilean Andes, a Program of NSF NOIRLab, as the Moon sets below the horizon. The Moon appears massive and with a mysterious yellowish glow as it retreats behind the SMARTS–GSU 0.9-meter Telescope on the left, the SMARTS–GSU 1.5-meter Telescope in the center, and the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope on the right. Both the SMARTS-GSU telescopes are operated by the Georgia State University Research Foundation.

Travel Trivia: Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, is over 10,000 square kilometers (3900 sq miles) and up to 10 meters thick (32 feet). It's famous for its unique "mirror effect" during the rainy season, where a thin layer of water transforms the surface into a giant mirror, reflecting the sky.

Vinicunca, Peru's Rainbow Mountain
At over 5,000 meters above sea level, Vinicunca rises with streaks of red, gold, turquoise, and violet colors shaped by minerals and millions of years of geologic time.
It's one of the most iconic natural wonders in the Andes and a symbol of the colorful mountains Peru is known for.

Scientists explore the anatomy of a "zombie volcano" that’s showing signs of activity.

@CNN reports on Uturuncu, a lofty peak in the Central Andes mountain range that hasn’t erupted for more than 250,000 years.

Feliz Día de la Tierra! Here are some images from my most amazing journey, Los Andes Bolivianos, 10/2008. At that time climate crisis was already a big issue w melting glaciers there above 5500m. For their overall water supply in La Paz. Tried to climb 6480 Volcan Illimani, but got the Soroche at 5640m, had to descend. Worth the try tho, such an incredible environment. All of which is even more threatened now w our fascist criminal oligarchy. #climatecrisis #mountains #andes #bolivia #earthday

was in Bolivia and Peru (short Machu Picchu diversion) for a month, entirely above 3100m the whole time. Except briefly in Peru. Illimani is an incredible backdrop for the bustling 3200-4120m elev. city of La Paz. Highest large one in the World. Stepping off the plane from Miami out onto the tarmac of 4115m El Alto airport, immediate headache. After 3 hr nap later, and slow walk around the steep city streets, all good 👍
I won't lie, I was slightly terrified seeing what we had to get into. not a mountaineer, just like being in them.
here at the 5640m high camp I slowly starting developing HACE. Incredible headache, worst I've ever experienced. Heard avalanches above us all nite long, so was good thing anyway we had to quickly descend. had hired a guide, and he knew what he was doing 👍Only had to descend to 4500m and I felt better. by time we got back to the 4100m base village, could eat again.
these two young women from the base village hire out as porters. they slung 25-30kg loads over their neck, hanging in front. up steep rocky trail from 4300-5640m. after hour break up there -10C lite wind, they descended back down.
