Fun Facts About Chile
- Chile is the longest north-south country in the world. It stretches over 2,670 miles (but is never wider than 112 miles). That's about the distance from Norway all the way to the Sahara Desert.
- The Atacama Desert in the north is the driest non-polar place on the planet, while Patagonia in the south has massive ice fields.
- The world's oldest mummies are in Chile, not Egypt. The Chinchorro culture began mummifying their dead about 2,000 years before the Egyptians started doing it.
- Chile mines about a third of the world’s copper. One open-pit mine is so large, you could fit several Great Pyramids inside it.
- Chile hosts over 2,000 volcanoes, with approximately 90 considered active due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
