Images used for The Wild Gala are provided by the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center. The image above, taken from 438 miles above the earth’s surface, features one of the largest salt pans in the world. The vast, open expanse in Namibia is within Etosha National Park, protected since 1907. The wild patterns in this infrared interpretation develop from episodes of water evaporation following seasonal rains. The salt from the water is rearranged into new patterns every time the shallow water dries out. The surrounding blue shades are dry bushland savanna.
