Argentina 2018 National Landscapes Salar del Hombre Muerto is located in the southern part of Puna de Atacama, a vast, arid high-altitude plateau in the Andes mountains. Its surface and upper subsurface consist of thick Quaternary evaporite deposits (including halite, gypsum, and borates) left behind by repeated cycles of shallow water evaporation. Lithium-rich deposits are the result of volcanism followed by hydrothermal and groundwater transport.  |
