I received the following email today concerning El Tatio and Puchuldiza Geysers, Chile. My understanding --from reading the Santiago newspaper online for the last several months-- is that the government has issued a license for immediate geothermal exploration at El Tatio (and presumably from the email, Puchuldiza too). A www.google.cl search for "Tatio" will find a few relevant stories. I am sure that the sender would be happy to hear from anyone interested in the situation. Alan J.
