Mountains of ALMA
While inhospitable to humans, Chajnantor plateau in northern Chile is the perfect place for millimetre/submillimetre astronomy, such as employed in the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillietre Array (ALMA).
The extreme 5000-m altitude, combined with the very arid environment, makes for some stunning landscape shots.
