Uyuni Salt Lake Mirror Image of the Milky Way.

Incredible beauty of Altiplano night. I'm standing myself in the middle of the biggest salar in the world, Uyuni. That's a panorama of 4 vertical shots made on Nikon D810a + 14-24 nikkor. It felt like I've entered the open space! The flooded salar reflects all stars so you can see them under your feet as well.

No doubts it was one of the best nights I've ever had in my life! Completely tired, we scratched ourselves from our beds and started to salar Uyuni. It was hard to believe our eyes and senses. It seemed that we float in the open space. Our spaceship is parked in a distance, and stars are blinking with blue, red and yellow colors. You stand in the deep night with stars above you, aside from you and underneath! It's space on Earth, isn't it?

The Uyuni Salt Lake has such a beautiful appearance but has almost no water. The dry salt surface is able to reflect light so the stars at night are simply spectacular when there is a some rainfall or there is surface water on the lake bed.

・It was raining just before.
・The night sky is so bright.
・There is no wind at all.

People should see this magical scenery at least once in their lives!

▼ The Arctic.

I have arrived safely to Svalbard today. Tomorrow morning we start the first part of our "Two poles" photography expedition. We sail for 2 weeks around Svalbard, then continue to Greenland and then to Antarctica on our arctic yacht Peter-1. I made this panorama last year during West Greenland tour with the same yacht. Wish us good luck, it's incredible journey around our planet. For those willing to join Antarctica part of voyage, I have 2 spots left. Other voyage parts are sold out.

▼ The Lauca National Park in Chile.

Sajama was our last stop in Bolivia. My expedition route led us to Lauca park in Chile. We crossed the busy pass to Lauca early in the morning, avoiding crazy numbers of trucks. Here I changed a car from Bolivian Land Cruiser to Nissan Patrol. Lauca is a beautiful place if you turn offroad. We had incredible offroad adventures climbing even up to 4800 m in Lauca! Here is one of amazing spots we reached the first evening: overlooking Pomerape and Parinacota volcanoes. What you see on foreground is called yareta, it's very strange plant growing everywhere in Lauca. It reminds me of a Shrek movie 🙂 Altiplano expedition with Danielkordan.com #chile #Bolivia #Altiplano #Lauca #Parinacota #pomerape #yareta
