Congratulations to Joe Clark for being the first to solve our June puzzler. The answer was the Salar de Arizaro in Argentina’s Salta province. Though once bathed in water, the landscape is now bone dry due to evaporation, baking sunlight, and fierce winds. Read more about it in the image of the day we published on June 28, 2014.  Also, check out this spectacular shot of the Cono de Arita  (a distinctive conical hill sculpted from sandstone) from Ben Stubbs.
