[ 02:09 ]

With an area about the size of New Jersey, Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni salt flat is known as the flattest place on earth.

GOOD: Landmine Flowers
Scientists in Denmark have developed a plant that turns red when it comes into contact with trace amounts of TNT. If sowed over an area contaminated by landmines, these plants would form a botanical, color-coded map that would keep civilians out of harm's way.
