Feeling Salty – April 25, 2022
One of Earth’s largest saltworks is located on the Baja California Peninsula. The plant, near the town of Guerrero Negro, is located on the east side of the peninsula, and produces 9 million metric tons of salt each year by evaporation of ocean water as opposed to mining. The saltworks was founded in this location in 1954, and on March 23, 2022, Landsat 8’s Operational Land Imager caught this photo of it.
