Chile is a long, narrow country stretching over 4,000 kilometers along the southwestern coast of South America, between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Its capital and largest city is Santiago, located in a valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Due to its extreme length, Chile has a highly varied climate, ranging from the world's driest non-polar desert (the Atacama) in the north to the alpine tundras and glaciers of the south. It is also a very seismically active country, sitting on the boundary of the Nazca and South American plates, and it holds the record for the largest earthquake ever recorded (the Valdivia earthquake of 1960). Chile also claims a portion of Antarctica and owns Easter Island, famous for its giant stone statues known as Moai. The country is a major exporter of copper, wine, and fruit, and its landscape includes fertile central valleys and rugged southern fjords.
