SATELLITE IMAGERY

Chile Satellite Map

Because of the long and narrow shape of Chile, it spans several different climatic zones and landscapes. First, the driest desert in the world, the Atacama Desert, lies in the north of Chile. As it transitions to the south, the climate becomes more Mediterranean and humid subtropical at Easter Island.

Then, the southern region is more characterized by the Chilean Patagonia, an area influenced by the Andes Mountains, lakes, fjords, glaciers, deserts, and steppes. Some of Chile’s longest rivers include the Loa, Bíobío, and Cachapoal. Additionally, it’s the only country where you can find penguins outside of Antarctica on the Seno Otway.

PHYSICAL MAP

Chile Physical Map

The Andes runs along the eastern side of Chile and is among one of the world’s longest mountain ranges. It forms most of its border with Argentina to the east. Because of its active plate tectonics, the country experiences severe earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.

In fact, the largest recorded earthquake in history, the Valdivia Earthquake, occurred in Chile with a magnitude of 9.5. At 6,893 m (22,615 ft), Nevado Ojos del Salado is the highest peak in Chile. As part of the Andes Mountains, it’s also an active stratovolcano and the second-highest mountain in both the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
