This is a general view of the salt pan where they were. Sorry about the old tyre. I didn't see it until I viewed the shot on the computer back home.

This is a shot taken when we stopped to photograph Licancabur. Talk about pitiless waste! I wouldn't like to be lost out there. The white in the distance is salt pan.

In other places there was the same desiccated golden coloured grass we had seen before. If you saw this you could be pretty sure there would be vicuna or guanaco somewhere about.

There were numerous volcanic cones close to the road.

The altimeter on Willy's GPS reads 4801m, so I guess we must be near the highest point here!

Just to back track a little this is a parting shot of the Trichocereus with the volcano in the background.

And a shot of the volcano form the other side. Definitely a candidate for mount doom.
