Salar de Uyuni isn’t just the world’s largest salt flat. When it gets wet, it becomes the world’s largest mirror too. Our featured image of this natural wonder is by Nouhailler.
Made of the heavily transformed remnants of prehistoric lakes, it’s situated 12,000 feet above sea level in the Bolivian Andes.
