  • It looks like an open pit mine of sorts. I don't know what natural resource they are mining there.
  • me neither. what the hell is that?
  • anybody can explain if what is that? maybe geography can notice this.
  • Pond system to Extract Potash & Magnesium Coloride from Salt Brine. Operated by Intrepid Potash.
  • Salt flat racers blame this enterprise for the gradual deterioration of the salt surface to the north - a thinning of the salt which has inhibited the extent to which vehicles can travel at high speeds on the flats.
  • Spelling problem: Magnesium Coloride is not a real thing. Its a typo. It probably should be Magnesium Chloride.
