salt flat
Dried lake bed
A salt flat is a broad, level expanse of ground covered with salt and other minerals, formed when a body of water evaporates in an arid climate.
The surface is typically hard, white, and barren: The Bonneville Salt Flats host land speed record attempts.
Also called a salt pan or playa.
