Gorillas in the dust - the Atacama desert

What a week!

If you have ever been in a desert before, you will know how fascinating they are: they are totally inhospitable places often without a shade in sight to protect yourself from the burning and constant sun during the day. They are also bitterly cold at night. At the same time though, if you pay attention, they can in places be full of life and they have the most beautiful sunsets and starry nights that you can probably find on our planet.
