Qaidam Basin, China

The 100 m image of 26 April 2014 shows us Qaidam Basin, an hyperarid basin with an area of approximately 120,000 km², one fourth of which is covered by saline lakes and playas. By one count, there are 27 such lakes in the basin. In this PROBA-V image we see the West and East Taiji Nai'r Laken at the left side, in the middle Senie Lake and at the right Dabuxun Lake. After zooming in, you can see the infrastructures built for the reclamation of salt and other minerals.
