Glacier or Iceberg?

A trip up the coast today to see this rare phenomenon - a white cliff. You could be forgiven for thinking I had popped over to Iceland but this is in fact a mountain of salt gathered from the salt pans. I don't know how long it takes to get this much salt out of the sea water, but today some of it was being gathered. It involved several dumper trucks, some specialist machinery and lorries plus miles of conveyer belts - all so this can be sprinkled on our food. I can see why it's relatively expensive with all the labour necessary - an exotic luxury. Extras to show some of the effort.
