Humberstone, Chile

Humberstone is a former English saltpeter mining town in the Atacama Desert. Synthetic nitrate invented during WWI replaced saltpeter, meaning that the facilities were no longer needed.

People left so abruptly that much of the town appears frozen in time, with pictures still hanging on walls, and closets filled with clothes.

In 2005, Humberstone was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
