Check out those ups!
This cactus could be my twin - they grow about a cm a year!
Some of the cacti on the island are over a1,000 years old!Salty or sweet? Or together?
The only salt flat in the world viewable from space (not that I can verify that) is in Uyuni, Bolivia. And I was there yesterday!
It looks like a lot of snow! But it doesnt melt. 12,000kilometers squared....thats a lot of salt.
The flats were formed many many many moons ago when most of south american was still under water. A lake was formed as the continents rose leaving a salty lake. The water has over millions of years, evaporated! Leaving miles and miles of salt.
I got to spend a day taking in its beauty!

The salt flats is the most amazing place i have ever been and ive been twice now. I always like reading about other people visiting there - i just hope that it doesnt get spoilt if they start to mine process the lithium therein the next year.
