**Tomasamil** (Spanish: *Cerro Tomasamil*) is a [highly eroded](/source/Erosion) [dormant volcano](/source/Extinct_volcano) in south-west [Bolivia](/source/Bolivia), located inland from the [Atacama Desert](/source/Atacama_Desert) of coastal [Chile](/source/Chile). It is located about 150km south-west of the famous [Salar de Uyuni](/source/Salar_de_Uyuni) salt flats[1] and is also relatively close to the [Salar de Chiguana](/source/Salar_de_Chiguana). It is also located 6 km east of [Ollagüe](/source/Ollag%C3%BCe), another extinct [ultra prominent peak](/source/Ultra_prominent_peak) on the Chile-Bolivia border. Due to its location, the peak of Tomasamil often has little to no snow. However, this is a relatively recent phenomenon, as in previous years Tomasamil often had enough precipitation for the peak to be snow-capped. The area around the mountain is dominated by pockets of occasional shrub and exposed dirt, along with expansive salt flats, typical of the region it is located in. On the lower parts of Tomasamil animals such as the [vicuña](/source/Vicu%C3%B1a), a relative of the [llama](/source/Llama), and plants such as the [yareta](/source/Yareta), a plant found on high elevation areas throughout the [Andes](/source/Andes) can be found.
