The Andes Mountains run through Chile and Bolivia
iss073e0384067 (July 12, 2025) --- The Andes Mountains run through Chile and Bolivia on the South American continent. The eastern slope of the Andes in Bolivia captures moisture from the Amazon basin creating more rainfall on that side of the nation and contributes to an arid climate on South America's Pacific coast. The International Space Station was orbiting 260 miles above Chile when this photograph was taken.
