Amazing Capture Of Milky Way Reflected At The World's Largest Salt Flat
Determined to find a destination where he could photograph a completely dark sky, Russian photographer Daniel Kordan traveled to the Altiplano region of west-central South America, an area known for its absolute darkness, and which rises 12,300 feet above sea level. While here, Kordan captured the Uyuni salt flat with a special astrophotography camera.
Salt flats around the globe are known for their intoxicating visuals and otherworldly feel. Russian photographer Daniel Kordan recently made the trek to Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia—the world's largest salt flat—and shot the Milky Way as it reflected off of the mineral-covered plain. "There are not so many places in the world where you can enjoy absolute dark sky," Kordan tells us in an email. "Light pollution is in the cities and even small villages." The results are a stunning fusion of the Earth and cosmos—at times, it's hard to tell where the two begin and end.
