Amazing salt flats. What you are seeing here is the dry salt plain and the hexagon shape are the effects of salt drying under the relentless sun. The altitude here is over 3,600 metres and covering 12,000 sq km. The reflection on the sun is blindingly white. I thought it was one of the most fabulous natural sight I have ever witness!
More about the background from the bible: It was part of a prehistoric salt lake, Lago Minchin. Whcih covered most of SW Bolivia. When it dried up, it left a couple of seasonal puddls and several salt pans. Including the Salar de Uyuni and Salar de Coipasa.
