So in geography I was studying this and it is a desolate place where no one lives in Chili. They pretty much described it as uninhabitable because it is so dry and barren.

The desert has rich deposits of copper and other minerals, and the world's largest natural supply of sodium nitrate, which was mined on a large scale until the early 1940s. The Atacama border dispute over these resources between Chile and Bolivia began in the 19th century.
Now the desert is littered with approximately 170 abandoned nitrate
(or "saltpetre") mining towns, almost all of which were shut down
decades after the invention of synthetic nitrate in Germany at the turn of the 20th century (see Haber process).[citation needed] The towns include Chacabuco, Humberstone, Santa Laura, Pedro de Valdivia, Puelma and Maria Elena and Oficina Anita.
