Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flat, covering about 10,000 square kilometers. It formed from ancient lakes that dried up thousands of years ago, leaving a thick crust of salt. The surface is very flat, making it useful for calibrating satellites. During the rainy season, a thin layer of water covers the salt, creating a mirror-like effect that reflects the sky almost perfectly.
