MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

Photographer Daniel Kordan escaped harsh light pollution and took breathtaking photos of the Milky Way at the Altiplano Salt Flats.

  • Because light pollution is found in cities and small villages, Altiplano is the best place to observe the stars
  • Daniel Kordan planned a month-long expedition for astrophotography
  • The Altiplano Salt Flats are 4000-5000 meters above sea level
  • The salt flats are covered in 5-10cm of water
  • After their bodies adjusted to the elevation, Kordan and his crew took amazing pictures of galaxy perfectly reflected in the water
