Bonneville Salt Flats, USA
A salty spectacle
Different people will see different things when they gaze over the big, beautiful blank canvas of the Bonneville Salt Flats. To a chef, it's reassurance that the world's most important seasoning is in high supply, as 90% of the surface here is plain old table salt. To a filmmaker, it's anything from a distinctive establishing shot of the US state of Utah, to a surreal sci-fi setting. And to a daredevil on wheels, it's the perfect wide-open space for impressive stunts – the land speed record has been broken here multiple times.

These flats are beloved by daredevils on wheels – land speed records have been broken here more than once.
