Description
A shot of the sun rising behind a flower of a giant Echinopsis atacamensis cactus growing on Incahuasi Island in the middle of the Salar de Uyuni in south west Bolivia. These cacti grow at only approx 1cm a year in the cold dry climate of the high Andean altiplano and the tallest are often more than 10m high and 1000 years old. This is the pasacana subspecies which are found in Bolivia and northern Argentina. The Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, covering 10,582 square km / 4,086 square miles.
