Horizontal landscape photograph of Laguna Verde at the base of Licancabur Volcano on the Bolivia-Chile border. The perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone towers under an intense, cloudless ultraviolet Andean sky. The lake water, enriched with arsenic, copper, and calcium carbonate, displays an unearthly turquoise hue that shifts across the surface, reflecting the reddish-ochre volcano with optical purity. Surrounding the water's edge are chalky white borax crusts and cracked salt polygons that lead into the composition. Harsh high-desert light emphasizes the raw mineral geology, geometric sharpness of the volcanic slopes, and complete lack of vegetative clutter.
