En route to Calama in the dust storm. Little did we know this spell of bad weather was a once in 6 years phenomenon... just our luck! |
On the way, the lurid yellow world of migrant dust created some strange effects on the surrounding mountains. A volcano that I might have mentioned before (yes, Licancabur again) hid its head in cloud while light played on its lower slopes. It craved to be photographed (for the last time?).
Bad weather meant abandoning our Lascar attempt. Life's too short to spend climbing volcanos in a storm! |
By the time we'd driven 30 minutes the clouds had descended further... and there was still 3 more hours to drive down dirt roads to get out. |
The dust storm envelops the giant wind farm near to Calama |
A brief respite gives us another view of the majestic Volcan Licancabur... must go back and climb this one day! |
