It is in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes and is at an elevation of 3 656 meters (11 995 ft) above sea level . </P> <P> The Salar was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes . It is covered by a few meters of salt crust, which has an extraordinary flatness with the average elevation variations within one meter over the entire area of the Salar . The crust serves as a source of salt and covers a pool of brine, which is exceptionally rich in lithium . It contains 50% to 70% of the world's known lithium reserves, which is in the process of being extracted . The large area, clear skies, and exceptional flatness of the surface make the Salar an ideal object for calibrating the altimeters of Earth observation satellites . </P>
