Salar de Uyuni... Uyuni Salt Lake. Uyuni is a lake covering almost 10,000 square kms. In spite of being called a lake there is no water on the majority of its surface. Where water exists on its gleaming white salt layer it is no more than 1-2 cm deep. It is almost impossible to contemplate the seemingly endless white beauty of the lake with the naked eye. This building situated on Uyuni Salt Lake (see below) is a cabin made of salt blocks. The table and chairs inside are also of salt. The lake, more reminiscent of a frozen lake, has another peculiarity which cannot he perceived in the photograph - the burning temperature of the air
