4 CHILE: ASTRONOMY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, NORTH CHILE
Natural laboratory with unique conditions with over 330 clear sky nights a year
68% of global astronomy infrastructures will be installed in Chile by 2018 with an investment of 6 billion USD
5 CHILE: OTHER NATURAL LABORATORIES
Punta Arenas is the closest port of access to Antarctic making it a unique location for the logistics needed in science, tourism and fishing in Antarctic
The Atacama Desert has the highest solar radiation and is the driest desert in the world -some places have not had rainfall for over 400 years- making it a unique location for solar energy development
Chile is one of the most seismically active countries on earth, making it a unique location for developing and testing antiseismic engineering
