Birds - Chile

These feathered images comprise the summer months, zig-zagging the longest north to south country on Earth. My educational journey along the western slopes of the Andes and the nearby, Pacific Ocean shoreline - from the Big Island of the Land of Fire (Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego), northward thru the Patagonia Ice Fields, Magellanic Subpolar Forest, Valdivian Temperate Forest, Matorral (scrubland), and to the Atacama Desert and high Central Andean plateaus.

Andean Flamingos and Andean Crested Ducks - upon Laguna Santa Rosa, an endorheic lagoon situated at about 12,140 ft. (3,700 m) - here viewing southeast, about 15 mi. (22 km), across the altiplano terrain - to Volcan Copiapó (also called Cerro Azufre), rising to 19,856 ft. (6,052 m) - which is at the southern end of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes - just south of its widest section, of the longest exposed mountain range on Earth, that stretches about 5,500 mi. (8,850 km).
