Greening Desert - a photo on Flickriver

Greening Desert

On our way back from Laguna Lejía, green grasses had grown in the desert thanks to the melting of the snow that had fallen a few hours earlier on our way in.

The small dry lake in the foreground is located 8 km (5 mi) west of Laguna Lejía.
The mountain behind it is Cerro Negro de Barriales (4665 m).
Laguna Lejía (Bleach Lagoon) is a salt lake in the Atacama Desert.
It is located in the Chilean Altiplano, in the Antofagasta Region,
100 km (62 mi) southeast of San Pedro de Atacama,
at an altitude of 4325 m (14,200 ft).
