Description
A person (actually a rare selfie!) standing under the Milky Way's Galactic Centre, taken on Incahuasi Island in the middle of the Salar de Uyuni in south west Bolivia.
The Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, covering 10,582 square km / 4,086 square miles. The forked cactus is an Echinopsis atacamensis (pasacana subspecies). They grow in Bolivia and northern Argentina and are common in the region. In the cold dry climate they only grow at approx 1cm a year, the tallest are well over 10m high......
