13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Alien on the desert
A giant yaret (Azorella Comptacta) covering completely a rock. This species looks like a moss and covers from small to large portions of the ground, yet the yareta is a flowering plant and not a moss, that grows in all parts of the Puna grasslands.
