Le lac Titicaca en Bolivie, berceau de la civilisation Inca, est le plus grand lac d'eau douce d'Amérique latine. Il est aujourd'hui menacé d'asphyxie. En arrière-plan, le sommet Ancohuma culminant à 6 427 m. Dans le cadre d'un projet ANR original "La Pachamama", une équipe internationale de scientifiques réalise le bilan écologique du lac et étudie, pour la première fois in situ, le transport et le devenir biochimiques du mercure et de ses isotopes.
