A winter landscape like from a picture book - and that in the Atacama Desert.
Sounds unusual, and indeed it is: rare.
So rare that it is the first time for one or the other Chilean.
Quotes:
“I see snow for the first time when I am 30.”
“I've never seen anything like it.
It's a natural wonder! "
" It's great, like a duvet.
Wonderful."
Every few years it can happen that snow falls here in the Andes.
The timing is unusual.
Daniel Diaz, meteorologist
"It's relatively unusual for the end of August, you see it here more in June or July."
Snow in the desert - one way or another a change for the people here in the north of the Andean state.
