The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It covers an area of 105,000 km2, rising to 128,000 km2 if the barren lower slopes of the Andes are included.
- The Atacama is the driest non-polar desert in the world and the largest fog desert on Earth.
- Extreme aridity results from its position between two mountain chains, the Andes and the Chilean Coast Range, of sufficient height to block moisture from both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, creating a two-sided rain shadow.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Atacama Desert article was read about 320,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
