Remnants of a giant prehistoric lake, Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat — spanning a vast 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 square miles).

Photographers flock to this beautiful white crystalline location, near the crest of the Andes mountains in Bolivia, in order to take advantage of the fantastical landscape. In the dry season this salt flat is a seemingly endless sparking white sea and, when covered with rain water, it’s transformed into the largest mirror on Earth, perfectly reflecting the entire sky.
