Cool looking but the truth is simpler.

What can be seen is the underwater salt mining tunnels and drags that the Peruvians use to capitalize on the Laguna Salinas extremely salty waters.

Actually, it's a boron mine. This salty lake is only a lake during the rainy season, but six months out of the year boron is excavated by a mining company.
