Country of the month

Chile

Squeezed between the Pacific Coast and the Andes, Chile is the longest and narrowest country on earth. Its ribbon shape makes an amusing weather forecast – the dry deserts in the north, lush vineyards, lakes and glaciers in its centre and down to the icy windswept wilds of Patagonia to the south. Easter Island is an outpost in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, almost four thousand kilometres from the mainland.
