Ice Age salt mines

Ice Age salt mines are ancient underground deposits of salt that accumulated over millions of years. During past Ice Ages, sea levels dropped, causing seawater to evaporate and leave behind vast salt deposits in underground chambers. These deposits are often found deep beneath the Earth's surface and are mined today for salt. The process involves drilling into these salt layers and extracting the mineral, which is then refined for various industrial and culinary uses. These ancient salt beds have characterized numerous regions around the world, providing a valuable resource that has been preserved and mined for thousands of years.
