After heavy rains in March and August, the Atacama Desert in Chile is now swimming under a sea of unprecedented pink floral beauty. The breathtaking land that usually stays parched by a scorching sun is considered one of the driest deserts on earth. Arica, Chile, in the northern Atacama, holds the record for the world's longest dry spell. Not a droplet of rain fell upon this South American desert for over 14 years.
