The Uyuni salt lake is the biggest salt crust around the world. Its length is approximately 10,000 km2. This salt crust is formed of porous halite, filled of a interstitial brine rich in lithium, potassium, magnesium and boron.

 

Perforations made in the Uyuni salt lake show that it’s formed by interstitial layers of porous halite filled of a brine rich in lithium, potassium, boron and magnesium. The deepest perforation made until now in the Uyuni salt lake has 220.6 meters. It’s still unknown the total depth of the salt lake.

 

During the summer months the salt flat fills with water as a result of rainfall.
