South America's Natural Wonders: Patagonia, Neuquén Basin, Atacama Desert, and Across the Andes
Gary L. Prost
"This book guides readers through the most geologically-significant scenery in South America, points out features of interest and describes how these features came to be. Starting in the glacial landscapes of southern Patagonia, it examines the foothills of the Andes of western Argentina to understand the foreland deformation. Across the Andes one observes deformation, volcanism, and mineral deposits associated with an onshore volcanic arc and uplift in the Atacama Desert of Chile.
