Wild Chile

From the frozen Antarctic Peninsula mountains to the dry Patagonian steppe, true survivors battle the elements and each other in an unforgiving wilderness.

Chile is home to a variety of forests that harbour rare and remarkable "living fossils" - from cathedrals of kelp to mountainsides of monkey puzzle trees.

The Atacama Desert in Chile's north is an arid wasteland where animals and plants have had to find ingenious ways to survive without water.
