A Stroll through the ALMA Array Operations Site

Movie・

I took a stroll around the 5000-m altitude ALMA Array Operations Site carrying a 360-degree camera.

In this video, please enjoy the ambience of the site which is difficult to convey with a normal photograph: the 5000-m class mountains visible in the distance and the plain spreading out between them; the rustling of the strong wind; the dazzling sunlight; the differing shapes of antennas produced in Japan, America, or Europe; the appearance of the ground; etc.
