Termas de Polloquere are sulphurous hot springs (~60°C) in Salar de Surire, a 144km² salt flat at 4245 m in the far north of Chile. The high mountain in the background of the main photo is Cerro Lliscaya (5580m) which demarcates the border to Bolivia.
Salar de Surire is protected as a monumento natural (lowest level of protection because of lithium mining) and is also an important Ramsar wetland. Together with Lauca National Park and Reserva Nacional Las Vicunas it is part of UNESCO's Lauca Biosphere Reserve.

The volcanoes in the note are Arintica (5590m) and Puquintica (5760m), the latter has the Bolivian border running through it.

The actual spring in the foreground has a lovely greenish hue which is emphasised by the surrounding landscape.
A fantastic shot..!! ⭐️
I really like both of your PiPs.........the first one is stunning for pretty much all the reasons given above and the second one is a lovely close up version.
Excellent work as always..!!
