The Valle de la Luna
A.k.a. the Valley of the Moon, or Moonscape. In the Cordillera de Sal, the desert mountains to the west of the Atacama Desert in Chile. These mountains are made of seafloor sediments so barely solidified that mineral salts percolate out in some areas and look like snow. If it ever rained here, the whole mountain range would wash away!
Chile, June 2019.
