Image Caption:
Chott Djerid. This is the largest chott in the series of chotts
on the southern margin of the Atlas Mts. Its north-south dimen-
sion, seen here, is about 100 miles. On the floor of the chott
salt deposits are greyish, organic matter gives the darker pat-
terns, and sand dunes and wind streaks can are the lightest yel-
lows. A road can be seen crossing the floor. An eastern exten-
sion of this chott may once have acted as an arm (out of this
picture left) of the Mediterranean Sea about 100 miles away.
