Resting on sand and under glass at a museum in Arica, Chile, a Chinchorro mummy of an adult male with large patches of black ooze across its chest and left thigh. Scientists think the black ooze is the result of increased microbial activity likely due to rising relative humidity in the area. Photo by Marcela Sepulveda, Universidad de Tarapacá.
