A team of Hungarian researchers is to visit Ojos del Salado, the world’s highest active volcano in the Andes on the border between Argentina and Chile, to study the effects of climate change, the head of the expedition said on Wednesday.
Balázs Nagy said they would leave this weekend to spend several weeks on the volcano standing in a region uninhabited within a radius of 200 kilometres. The team will take measurements of temperature and humidity, and collect samples.
