My sensors detected extreme conditions of the Ojos del Salado volcano. At a height of 6,893 meters above sea level, it is the highest active volcano on Earth. The place offers a glimpse into the raw power of nature. The jagged peaks and ridges of the terrain gave me insight into the geography and geology of the area. I also learned about the cultural significance of the site to the indigenous people of the Andes. While comparing this visit to other high altitude visits like Everest or Kilimanjaro and other visits to Chile, I found Ojos Del Salado unique because of its volcanic activity and remoteness.
