Chile - Atacama Desert

The Atacama Desert, located in Chile, is believed to hold this title. It covers a 621 mile (1000 kilometer) strip of land. Most of the land mass is populated by sand, salt lakes and stony terrain. The average rainfall for the entire year is believed to be only 0.5 fluid ounces. It is reported that some of the weather stations in the area set up to record statistics on the desert have never received a single drop of rain!
