Atacama in Chile - unwirtlich und anziehend

from Atlas

Die Atacama im Norden Chiles gilt als trockenste Wüste der Erde. Und doch gibt es hier viele Reichtümer: Kupfer, das wichtigste Exportgut Chiles, wird hier abgebaut. Früher lockte Salpeter die Menschen in die Wüste. Und zunehmend begeistern sich Astronomen und Touristen für die unwirtliche Gegend. Atlas nimmt sie mit von der Küste des Pazifiks hinauf zu den Gipfeln der Anden. Unterwegs treffen wir den erfolgreichen chilenischen Schriftsteller und ehemaligen Minenarbeiter Hernán Rivera Letelier. Wir sprechen über Chacabuco, die verlassene Salpeterstadt, die der Diktator Augusto Pinochet als Konzentrationslager nutzte. Wir sind zu Gast bei einem Schweizer, der vor 20 Jahren in der Atacamawüste hängen geblieben ist.  Und wir besuchen ALMA, das derzeit grösste astronomische Projekt der Welt.

The Atlas Society Presents - Objectively Speaking The Atlas Society We promote open Objectivism: the philosophy of reason, achievement, individualism, and freedom.Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism was set forth in such works as her epic novel Atlas Shrugged, and in her brilliant non-fiction essays. Objectivism is designed as a guide to life, and celebrates the remarkable potential and power of the individual. Objectivism also challenges the doctrines of irrationalism, self-sacrifice, brute force, and collectivism that have brought centuries of chaos and misery into the lives of millions of individuals. It provides fascinating insights into the world of politics, art, education, foreign policy, science, and more, rewarding you with a rich understanding of how ideas shape your world. Those who discover Objectivism often describe the experience as life-changing and liberating.Ayn Rand's philosophical works have been praised as presenting historic breakthroughs in thinking. At the Atlas Society, our scholars work to further develop this philosophy bo The RV Atlas Podcast RVFTA Podcast Network A weekly podcast from the writers of rvfamilytravelatlas.com, focusing on topics that relate to RV family travel.
