For millions of years the Pacific plate has been colliding with the Nazca plate, pushing up the Andean High plateau. At one such juncture in what is now modern-day Bolivia, it created an ancient inland salt sea that sat in a geological bathtub between two parallel high Andean ranges. In more recent transformations of the past thousands of years, it has been reduced to form the largest salt flat in the world at more than 4,000 square miles.
