Here is a picture of Grosbeak Lake area where I was amazed to see this white salt.

Wood Buffalo National Park, located in northeastern Alberta and southern Northwest Territories, is the largest national park in Canada. This park is a fantastik place to visit but you have to drive a long distance to go there because it is really far from civilization. It straddles the Northwest Territories - Alberta border and you must drive 270 km on a dirt road from Hay River, NorthWest Territories, the nearest town.

The presence of rare and superlative natural phenomena — including one of the largest free-roaming, self-regulating bison herds in the world, the only remaining nesting ground of the endangered whooping crane, the biologically rich Peace-Athabasca Delta, extensive salt plains unique in Canada, and some of the finest examples of gypsum karst topography in North America — led to the park's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

Hello Michel.
Thanks for the explanation. I'm even more interested in visiting now. I like the puffy clouds and blue sky as well as the mini river.
Maybe getting even more river would have been better. TFS. K2
