Iquique, Northern Chile

This is a major city of over 200,000 people surrounded by desert and in the middle of copper and nitrate resources and hence it's being. It has the lowest rainfall in the world and it's close to a latitude which has the sun directly overhead which means if you're going thin on top always wear a hat! And of course Darwin was here!
