Where is South America's driest place?
Certainly in high mountains: the top of mount Aconcagua, in Argentina, is the tallest mountain outside the Himalayas and is relatively far south in the continent. Other contenders would be the ice fields in Argentina and Chile, at about 50º latitude south. If you mean the coldest inhabited region...according to records, the coldest temperature ever was in Sarmiento, Argentina at -27F. The city of Rio Grande, also in Argentina, has an average temperature of about 30F in winter - a bit colder than NY city. Winters have reached down to about -4F. It is very likely that the coldest places are all in Argentina, because of the southerly location and less ocean influence than in neighboring Chile. Year-round, Ushuaia (pop=90,000) in the far south is perhaps the coldest, with winters around 33F and summers around...50F only. However, winters are colder elsewhere, as Ushuaia is at sea level, next to the ocean. There are many small villages in desolate areas of Argentine Patagonia at different altitudes which are significantly colder in the winter. Cities such as Tolhuin, 28 de Noviembre, Rio Turbio, Clemente Onelli are all frigid in the winter. In Maquinchao, temperatures have reached under -25F. Keep in mind, these are all small towns in isolated areas, and they are settled in the most protected locations, next to rivers and lakes at very low altitude. Between them, plateaus stretch for hundreds of miles, and the temperatures over there are much more rigorous. Perhaps the coldest place is the Meseta del Somuncura, a higher plateau which is about 1,200 feet higher than Maquinchao. Nobody knows exactly how cold it gets there :-)
