Solar Salt Works, Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands

Bonaire's economy depends on more than just coral-reef tourism. The island also produces salt on a massive scale. Salt pyramids ring the holding ponds where the tropical sun and easterly winds effectuate the evaporation that leaves behind almost pure sea salt. Today, the operation is under the umbrella of the Cargill conglomerate. [2017]
