About this map
Name: Salar de Atacama topographic map, elevation, terrain.
Location: Salar de Atacama, Antofagasta Region, Chile (-23.78629 -68.57340 -22.99316 -68.06436)

Maximum elevation: 5,269 m
The salt flat encompasses 3,000 km2 (1,200 sq mi), is about 100 km (62 mi) long and 80 km (50 mi) wide, which makes it the third largest in the world, after Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia (10,582 km2 (4,086 sq mi)). and Salinas Grandes in Argentina (6,000 km2 (2,300 sq mi)). Its average elevation is about 2,300 m above sea level. The topography of the core portion of the salar exhibits a high level of roughness, the result of evaporation and ephemeral surface water, unlike the most other salt flats, as for example the Salar de Uyuni, which is periodically covered with shallow water.
