For the first time in a decade, the Atacama Desert, known as the driest place on Earth, is witnessing an extraordinary natural phenomenon. In the middle of winter, the desert has come alive with blooming flowers, covering parts of it in vibrant hues of white and violet.
Researchers suggest that climate change could be a significant factor behind this unexpected event. The rare bloom is attributed to unusual rainfall in North Chile during the Southern Hemisphere’s fall season.
