Looking at South America by altitude is complicated by all that Brazilian low land. You get a better view when you look “Country by Country”. And there are some strange things going on in those countries with The Andes running through them. There is a general movement out of the mountains and toward the beach. But is there anything particularly surprising?

Nuke Bolivia?
Weather Underground can still find Bolivia, wonder why GHCN can’t?
