Salt flat with lagoons and hot springs, situated at ca. 4400m in Eduardo Avoaroa National Park in SW Bolivia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Avaroa_Andean_Fauna_National_Reserve Salzpfanne mit Seen und heißen Quellen, auf ca. 4400m Höhe im Eduardo Avaroa Nationalpark im Südwesten Boliviens gelegen. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserva_Nacional_de_Fauna_Andina_Eduardo_Avaroa

Laguna Verde (4329m) and Volcán Licancabur (5920m) whose crater lake is one of the highest in the world. The ascent of Licancabur starts from the saddle on the left. Laguna Verde gets its colour from mineral suspensions, among them lead and arsenic. Because of this there is no bird life at Laguna Verde whereas nearby Laguna Blanca has numerous flamingoes. Laguna Verde (4329m) und Volcán Licancabur (5920m), dessen Kratersee einer der weltweit höchstgelegenen ist. Der Aufstieg zum Licancabur beginnt am Sattel links. Die Laguna Verde hat ihre Farbe vom hohen Mineraliengehalt (Magnesium, Calciumcarbonat, Blei und Arsen). Dies ist auch der Grund, weshalb dort keine Vögel zu sehen sind, während sich in der gleich danebenliegenden Laguna Banca jede Menge Flamingos aufhalten.

Salar de Chalviri is a salt flat in SW Bolivia at a height of ca. 4400m. It lies in the National Reserve of Andean Fauna Eduardo Avaroa and the whole area is part of the huge Altiplano-Puna Volcanic complex with its large nested calderas and geothermal areas. volcano.oregonstate.edu/altiplano-puna-volcanic-complex Der Salar de Chalviri ist eine Salzwüste auf ca. 4400m im südwestlichen Bolivien und Teil des Nationalparks Eduardo Avaroa für andine Fauna. Die ganze Gegend gehört zum riesigen Altiplano-Puna Vulkankomplex (APVC) mit unzähligen Vulkanen, riesigen Calderen und Geysirgebieten. Der APVC wird mit gerne mit Yellowstone verglichen und oft als Supervulkan gehypt.

Today, 19. November, is "World toilet day", time for a little light relief;-) They asked 8 Bolivianos (1 €) for the use of this.... The photos were taken at Centro Comunal Quetena Grande which was built with Japanese money and is run by the local indigenous communities. The Centro Comunal is situated at Termas de Polques in Eduardo Avaroa Reserve at a height of appr. 4400 m.

Laguna Colorada lies at 4278m in Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve in the south western corner of Bolivia. Its red colour stems from halobacteria and algae (dunaliella salina) and a very high copper content. Laguna Colorada is the main breeding ground of the threatened James's flamingo. In 1990 it was designated a RAMSAR site.

Salvador Dalí desert is situated between Salar de Chalviri and Laguna Verde in SW Bolivia. This surreal looking high altitude desert lies at ca. 4400m within Eduardo Avaroa National Park, continuing outside the park as Siloli desert.

Sol de Mañana geothermal field lies at 4850m in SW Bolivia. Intense volcanic activity manifests itself in boiling mudpools, fumaroles and sulphur springs. First inset is clickable

The outflow at the hot springs is covered with colourful heat loving algae, the white stuff is salt. In the background over Salar de Chalviri salt is whirled up by the wind.

Sairecábur volcano (5971m) seen from Laguna Blanca. This is in Bolivia, just over the border from Chile.

Laguna Verde is situated at 4300m in Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve, SW Bolivia, just north of the border with Chile. Its green colour comes from mineral suspensions, among them arsenic. Flamingoes are never seen there, only in neighbouring Laguna Blanca. Because of its high mineral content Laguna Verde never freezes over, even in temperatures as low as -56°C.
