Details:
In the Atacama desert there is the tallest volcano of the world (on the right in the photo): it's called Ojos del Salado. From a plateau at 4600 meters of altitude, it seems just like a small mountains, but everything in the Atacama desert is different from what we learn from our experience. Its whitish aspect is not due to snow or ice but to ancient ash. Over this giant there is another giant, but this time it's a cosmic giant: the Large Magellanic Cloud, the brightest satellite of our Galaxy.
