How dry I am
Located on the Chilean coast, the Atacama Desert is the driest place on earth. The desert is estimated to be over 20 million years old and 50 times drier than Death Valley in California. On one side is the Andes Mountains which block rain from entering the desert. The seaward side has a coastal inversion layer which stops moisture from rising over the land.
Caused by the offshore Humboldt Current, the inversion layer is when cold moisture rich air cannot rise because hot air sits on top of it forcing it to stay on the coast. The result is an average rainfall of just 1mm per year. This means it would take 100 years to fill up a coffee cup. There are many other interesting facts about this place. I think it would be fun to check it out!
