The Inagua landscape is dominated by either the Morton Salt company's vast reservoirs or the salt pans where it produces salt by solar evaporation. It is a stark and harsh landscape.
We wound our way along the edges of the pans and reservoirs to access the Inagua National Park to get to Lake Rosa. The preservation of these 'fillymingoes' which is how the Bahamians pronounce flamingoes - has been a joint action between Morton's and the Bahamas National Trust, and these birds have been brought back from near extinction to more than 50000 birds here on Inagua.
