3. The Salt Polygon Phenomenon
One of the most amazing shows of natural tessellation found in nature, the geometric patterns covering Uyuni reflectUsually hexagonal in structure, these polygonal salt formations are produced from ongoing flooding and evaporation.The minerals crystallize and create these unique patterns as the water heavy in salt evaporates.With each polygon measuring one to two meters across, a great natural mosaic covering as far as the eye can view.The formation process is constant; new layers of salt are deposited during every wet season, preserving the arresting geometric patterns that define Uyuni so uniquely.
