Lake Torrens and Andamooka Island, located within South Australia’s Lake Torrens National Park, are striking features of the arid Australian outback. Andamooka Island, a large salt flat surrounded by the waters of Lake Torrens, is part of one of Australia’s largest salt lakes, stretching about 250 km long and 30 km wide and covering roughly 5,700 km², which only fills with water during rare, heavy rainfall events. The region’s unique geology—including ancient sedimentary layers and mineral-rich soils—supports specialized flora and fauna adapted to extreme salinity and drought, making it a significant site for studying arid-zone ecology and geological history.
