Extreme Englishman | God Save The Extreme

If we were trying to create a new list of wonders of the world this would be one of them. Mano de Desierto – The Hand of The Desert.
Found in the Atacama desert in Chile it was created by the artist Mario Irarrazabal and was constructed at an altitude of over 1,100 metres above sea level. It stands at 11 metres tall and is made from a mixture of iron and cement and I think that it is just truly wonderful.
It looks just like something out of The Mummy. If I was going to Chile, which I’m not, but one day I might – it’s on my list – I would be there like a whippet with my camera out.
