From the dry lake, we saw at the horizon the Mount Arapilis, 369 m high. It is a gigantic chunk granite, salmon pink / orange, that rises vertical out of the surrounding landscape. From the mountain we see the Mitre Peak and in distance a white lake. It’s a salt lake. Over million years the south westerly wind have carries just a little salt from the ocean. But as there is no exit to the sea the salt has accumulated and in dry period the lake is a salt flat.
