Alejandro Sala | Professional Photographer | AMAZING COLORS | captures images wild-places | Planet Mars ?...is part of an intact, untouched world, that often reminded me of the landscape pictures of Planet Mars sent by NASA in January 2004. The Puna region, on which this images "The Gate of the Andes series " from Book published in 2019, focuses on, spreads on part of the northern territories of Chile and Bolivia, on the southern part of Peru and on the north-eastern Argentinian territories. This region, impossible to describe with words, is part of an intact, untouched world, that often reminded me of the landscape pictures of Planet Mars sent by NASA in January 2004. The analogies are several, especially as far as the scenery is concerned: the landscape is scattered with dunes, craters and saltwater deposits. The Puna is also one of the few existing intact ecosystems in the whole world, enclosed in an upland located at almost 3500 meters (12.000 feet) on the sea level. In a place where the quantity of oxygen is reduced to 50% due to elevation, - 4000m on level sea- where the precipitations are scarce and the aridity and temperature range are very high, it is not surprising that the development of the vegetation is nearly non-existent. Surely the climate change which has been taking place in the last years has only worsened the situation. The global demand of renewable energy has seen a growth of 200% in the last decade, investing the so-called lithium triangle, where the biggest deposits of lithium are to be found: Atacama (Chile), Uyuni (Bolivia) and Antofagasta (Argentina) constitute 80% of the supply of the whole planet. Indeed in the Puna region, the extraction of lithium – also called white gold – represents the price of the development of modern society insofar as it produces a remarkable reduction of the water resources and of the access to drinking water for the inhabitants of the region, in this way modifying the whole ecosystem.
