1. **The Crystal Salt Plains**

Stretching as far as the eye can view, the Crystal Salt Plains offer an unearthly scene reminiscent of a science fiction film, snatched from nature. Particularly after light rain, this large swath of crystalline white produces a natural mirror effect reflecting the sky in a way that makes it impossible to tell where the earth ends and heaven starts. Across the surface, the salt crystals create complex patterns that reflect natural geometric designs varying with the seasons and temperature. During the dry months, when the strong sun forces the water to evaporate and leaves perfectly formed salt polygons behind, visitors may see the amazing process of salt crystal development. Early morning or late afternoon would be the ideal times to visit since the low angle of the sun produces striking shadows over the crystalline surface. The uncommon types of birds that utilise the salt plains as a resting place throughout their migration will particularly appeal to those who enjoy wildlife since they have evolved to fit this hostile environment.
