EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Salar de Coipasa, Bolivia, as seen from the International Space Station (ISS). Taken by astronauts on September 20th, 2012, this image captures the vast expanse of this unique region located in western Bolivia's Altiplano. Covering an area of approximately 2500 square kilometers, Salar de Coipasa is a remarkable sight to behold. The pale areas visible towards the upper half and far left of the image are thick salt deposits formed through evaporation of mineral-rich waters in arid closed basins. These flat-laying salt formations create a stunning contrast against the dark-colored volcanic sediment and rock found above and below center middle. The photograph also highlights the presence of Lauca River flowing towards Lake Coipasa in the lower half of the image. This river serves as a vital water source for sustaining life within this arid landscape.
