Salt island.


Salt islands
Aerial View.
The agglomeration of salt around plant roots leads to barren white patches in the centre of many of the thousands of islands, which have become too salty to support plants, aside from the odd salt-resistant palm tree. Trees and grasses grow in the sand around the edges of the islands that have not become too salty yet.
About 70% of the islands began as termite mounds (often Macrotermes spp.), where a tree then takes root on the mound of soil.

They acquire the salt they need by licking the ashes of the great fires that invade the vast plains.
If the "Marvel Firemen" exited everywhere there would be less than half of Africa's wildlife.
