The Isla del Pescado (German: "Fish Island"), also called Isla de los Pescadores , is an elevation in the Salar de Uyuni , the largest salt lake in the world, and is located in the Bolivian highlands . The name of the island is derived from the fish-like shape that is created by the reflection of the relief on the salt lake.
The 800 meter long and 500 meter wide Isla del Pescado has an area of 25 hectares and is about 15 kilometers from the southern edge of the salt lake. The highest point is 3822 meters high and so protrudes 169 meters above the salt lake.
