Uyuni Gravestone

Speeding along the flats at 60 kmph is fun, but we got even more lucky when the car in front blew a tyre. As soon as we stopped I ran back from where we came and snapped as many photos as I could while stationary. One site I stumbled upon was this ceremonial cross.

Uyuni is the largest salt flat in the world, covering 10,582 square kilometres, and with the height only varying a total of 1 meter over the entire area. Because of this large area and extreme flatness Uyuni is used to calibrate the earth's satellites. Like most salt flats Uyuni was once a massive salt lake which has since dried up and comes with islands and carbonate reefs.
