The place where ALMA

The place where ALMA is located is privileged in many ways. And also in scenic terms. In this photograph taken from the path that connects the Base Camp at 2900 meters. (OSF) with the Llano de Chajnantor at 5000 meters, we observe the incredible view of the imposing Salar de Atacama with its lagoons and wonderful colors. In the background you can see Cerro Kimal, sacred to the Likan Antai (Atacameña) culture. © ALMA (ESO / NAOJ / NRAO)
