Cancosa paleolake
19°50′S 68°40′W / 19.833°S 68.667°W The paleolake of Cancosa is a
limnic sediments in the area, which lies in the Tarapacá Region of Chile.[2]
Presently, the area is occupied by a
arid (precipitation less than 200 millimetres per year (7.9 in/year)) owing to the rain shadow of the Andes and the influence of the South Pacific High; most precipitation falls during summer.[3]
The lake has been reconstructed on the basis of data obtained by analyzing its sediments
Presently, a few

The lake featured a diverse
eutrophic and sometimes not, which may reflect volcanic influence on its waters.[6]
