The Wider Image: 'We beg God for water': Chilean lake turns to desert, sounding climate change alarm
Cattle ranchers ride horses at Farellones, close to the Andes mountain range, in Santiago, Chile April 18, 2022. Normally, low-pressure storms from the Pacific unload precipitation over Chile in winter, recharging aquifers and packing the Andes mountains with snow. But naturally occurring warming of the sea off Chile's coast, which blocks storms from arriving, has been intensified by rising global sea temperature, according to a global study on sea temperature and rainfall deficits.
