Description
Español: Vista general de las salineras de Maras, Perú. La sal se explota en Maras desde tiempos del Imperio Inca y sigue en funcionamiento con 3.000 pozos de 5 square metres (54 sq ft) cada uno. El sitio está rodeado de montanas salinas, y son las aguas subterráneas de las mismas las que transportan la sal hasta los pozos, que sale a la superficie gracias a la evaporación debido a la exposición de los pozos al sol. Cada mes se alcanzan 10 centimetres (3.9 in) de sal que es entonces empaquetada en sacos para su posterior distribución.
English: General view of the salineras (salt evaporation ponds) in Maras, Peru. The salt is obtained in Maras since the Inca Empire times and the site is currently composed of around 3.000 ponds of 5 square metres (54 sq ft) each. As the location is surrounded by salty mountains, subterrean water deposits the salty water in the ponds and the water evaporates due to the exposure to the sun. After aprox. 1 month the level of salt reaches 10 centimetres (3.9 in) and is removed in sacks.
Français : Salines de Maras, au Pérou.
Polski: Panorama saliny w Maras, w Peru. Sól produkuje się w Maras od czasów Imperium Inków. Obecnie znajduje się tam około 3000 zbiorników o powierzchni 5 m². Ponieważ miejsce otoczone jest zasolonymi górami, wody podziemne zasilają zbiorniki słona wodą, która następnie odparowuje wskutek promieniowania słonecznego. Po około miesiącu warstwa soli osiąga 10 cm grubości i zbiera się ją worków.
Português: Vista geral das salinas de Maras, Peru. O sal é explorado em Maras desde o tempo do Império Inca e ainda está em operação com 3 000 poços de 5 metros quadrados cada. O local é rodeado de montanhas salinas, e são as águas subterrâneas das mesmas que transportam o sal até os poços. A crosta de sal, que permanece após a evaporação da água ao final de um mês, é então recolhida em sacos após atingir uma espessura de aproximadamente 10 centímetros.
Українська: Соляні пруди біля міста Марас, Перу. Сіль почала збиратись ще за часів інків і зараз тут є приблизно 3 тисячі прудів, кожен в середньому по 5 квадратних метрів площею. Оскільки це місце оточене солоними горами, грунтові води приносять сіль в ставки, після чого вода випаровується. Кожного місяця шар солі потовщується на 10 сантиметрів. Після цього його знімають і упаковують в мішки для подальшого продажу.
Čeština: Salineras (odpařovací plochy pro výrobu soli) u města Maras, Peru. Sůl zde byla tímto způsobem získávána již za období Říše Inků a v současné době je v provozu asi 3000 odpařovacích ploch, každá o velikosti asi 5 m čtverečních. Slaná voda se shromažďuje přítokem z okolních kopců a po době přibližně měsíc se odparem vytvoří vrstva soli o tloušťce kolem 10 cm. Tato sůl se pak mechanicky odstraňuje a plní do pytlů.
Magyar: Sólepárlók Marasban (Peru)
Italiano: Saline di Maras in Perù. La produzione del sale in questa zona risale all'epoca dell'Impero Inca.
한국어: 페루 마라스의 살리네라스(염전)의 전경. 소금은 잉카 제국 시대부터 마라스에서 얻어 왔으며, 현재 이곳에는 각 5㎡의 3,000개소 정도의 연못이 있다. 주위의 산들로부터의 염수는 연못에 고이고 수분은 증발된다. 1달쯤 지나면 소금은 10cm 높이에 달하고, 자루에 옮겨진다.
Македонски: Соларницата во Марас, Перу, која се користи уште од времето на Инките.
