Atacama Desert Hidden Gems, Chile

Overview

In the first-ever overseas Meteorite Men episode Steve and Geoff revisit the very site where their hunting partnership began way back in 1997: the Imilac pallasite strewnfield high in Chile's Atacama Desert. They know meteorites are out there, but it's also winter at 11,000 feet in the driest desert on the planet. With new equipment and greater determination, the guys persevere through the harshest of conditions and — on the desolate plains of Vaca Muerta — make one of the most significant discoveries of their careers.
