Description: The Sulphur mine at El Desierto at the south end of the Salar de Empexa. A remote place about 15000 feet high on the border with Chile. Few people would want too live here. It took several days to get the smell of Sulphur out of our clothes and we didn't even do much digging. Did get a container load of Sulphur specimens here which they packed in the local version of popcorn which was cheaper than paper. It stunk up my warehouse and turned our silver jewelry black.
