Yesterday, I promised you to say something about “salt” at the Salar de Uyuni, so here it is – the image that made me very happy, because I was really hoping to see it there. 🙂
Salar de Uyuni contains lots of minerals, especially sodiums, potassiums, lithiums, and magnesiums.
Apparently, there is about 10 billion tonnes of salt, of which less than 25,000 tonnes is extracted annually.

Wczoraj obiecałam, że dzisiaj będzie o soli na Salar de Uyuni, więc oto zdjęcie. Miałam ogromną nadzieję zobaczyć takie stożki i udało się – coż to była dla mnie za radość! 🙂

Extraordinary! I’ve walked across a salt lake and sunk beneath the crust in places. The glare was blinding. I didn’t see the salty outcrops shown in your photo though.
Thank you! 🙂
it’s an amazing place, isn’t it?
Very exceptional!! Thanks
Thank you! 🙂
I’ve been enjoying your Bolivia series. I would love to see the salt flats.
Thank you! 🙂

Fantastico, anche tutti i post precedenti, con foto stupende.
Saluti, Patrizia
Thank you! 🙂
Who puts the salt into little piles? The government or a company? Does it have to be elaborately processed, or could people use it from what’s there?
Fun to see and learn with you.
I’ve never thought about it, I don’t know, sorry.
