The Atacama Desert, located in Chile and Peru, is considered a cold desert and one of the driest places on Earth. Most of the moisture the Atacama receives comes in the form of fog from the Pacific Ocean. Plants have adapted to the lack of rain by developing deep roots that gather moisture further into the ground than normal roots.
