Atacama - a desert of salt left from an inland sea

The Atacama desert is the driest desert in the world and is full of salt. Cejar Lagoon is just like the dead sea - incredible .. you just float .. impossible to keep your legs in the water... swimming is out of the question - my attempt was reminiscent of a beached whale.
Plenty of beached whales to keep me company!


Just have to lie back and relax!

This is the fresh water lake to rinse off in ! It's 35 degrees during the day with snow - capped mountains  behind!
