The geological makeup and history of the Atacama Desert reveal it as one of the driest places on Earth, with some areas never experiencing rainfall. Its climate can be surprisingly cold, occasionally resulting in snow and fog. Notably, the desert's soil closely resembles Martian soil, prompting NASA to utilize this unique environment for testing its exploration instruments, highlighting the desert's significance in both Earth and space science.
