Moab Potash Ponds
THE OVERVIEW ART COLLECTION
This Overview captures the evaporation ponds at the Intrepid Potash Mine in Moab, Utah, USA. The mine produces muriate of potash, a potassium-containing salt used widely by farmers in fertilizer. The salt is pumped to the surface from underground brines and dried in massive solar ponds that vibrantly extend across the landscape. As the water evaporates over the course of 300 days, the salts crystallize out. So why are you seeing such vibrant colors? The water is dyed bright blue to reduce the amount of time it takes for the potash to crystallize; darker water absorbs more sunlight and heat.
Photographed at an altitude of 600 km from outer space.
The art prints from The Overview Collection comes with a stamped certificate of authenticity from UpOnWalls.
