Incahuasi, “House of the Inca” in Quechua, was an island when Bolivia's
Salar de Uyuni salt flat was a lake in prehistoric times. A remnant of a
volcano, it’s covered in cacti, some towering 40 feet, and fossilized algae.
Extracting lithium from under the salt flat is certain to alter the spectacular
landscape.
