salt mine

[x-ben]

Hi ;)
most of the salt we eat in France come from here:

worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=48.65229&lon=6.25437&alt=7757&dir=0.4&tilt=7.7

I leave in the city nearby (Nancy)

There are similar things in San Francisco Bay, that you can see really well with the high resolution urban aeials.

... I don't think it's the same thing. X-ben means salt mines and earth salt. You probably mean les "marais salants" (I don't know the english term), these great fields, near the sea, which are full of sea water which evaporates to let sea salt.

Hmm, I don't know that we have such an English Term. in Utah, there's the Great Salt Lake, and there's the Dead Sea, but I can't come up with any term. :huh:

Yes, sorry, the photo looked like an evaporation pond. The ones in San Francisco get salt from the ocean. There are many salt mines in the US also, but they are mostly underground so hard to see :)

Here is some great info on the major salt mines in Michigan http://www.geo.msu.edu/geogmich/saltminingM.html

Any discussion of salt should include the Bonneville Salt Flats, a remnant of a Pleistocene Era lake. It covers 30,000 acres west of the Great Salt Lake in Utah and has shown up in numerous movies not to mention it is the home of the Bonneville Speedway where most of the world land speed records are set.

Even though I live in an island with sea surrounding us, all the salt is imported. In the beginning of the last century however they had salt pans to extract salt.
