Close
to the border with Argentina is the Salar de Atacama, with an area of
about 3000 square kilometers the largest salt lake in Chile. To the
east the lake is bordered by the Andes with their active volcanoes.
Only a few streets from firmly-baked salt cut through these sheer
endless open areas. They are used by the trucks carrying the mined raw
materials such as lithium and borax. |
