17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Vicuñas in the Altiplanic Lagoons
A massive snowfall closed the Altiplanic Lagoons in the Atacama Desert which, for over a month, remained inaccessible to tourists. The peacefulness of the place without foreigners made animals wander next to the road in the middle of the snow-filled landscape. That's where we met this group of vicuñas: under a road sign, on a clear sunny day.
