Due to Chile’s extremely diverse geography, this country located in the Earth’s extreme Southwest is prone to the effects of a warming planet.
Chile's territorial shape is among the worlds most unusual. From north to south, Chile extends 4,270 km (2,653 mi) from 17° latitude to Cape Horn at 56, while it only averages 177 km (110 mi) east to west. Chile is defined by the pacific ocean to the west (sea level) and Nevado del Ojos, Chile's highest point, is the tallest volcano in the world at 6,893 meters (22,615 ft), second highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
