The satellite technology measures another canal 200ft wide, discharging into the sea, lago UruUru (Lake Poopo).

 Above, in the wet season the inland sea reaches the mouth of the canal.

Plato: "It seems incredible that the canal should be so large as the account states, but we must report what we heard..."

Hot and cold springs were a feature of Atlantis

Above left, hot springs typical of the Altiplano. At Paria, to the north of the lake they provide hot water for a swimming pool and at Pazna to the east of lake Poopo, they provide hot water for a spa with individual baths.
Above right, cold water springs entertain tourists at Pampa Aullagas.

Plato: "The springs they made use of, one kind being of cold, another of warm water, were of abundant volume.... and, moreover, they set reservoirs round about, some under the open sky, and others under cover to supply hot baths in the winter"

Earthquakes were a major factor in the destruction of Atlantis

THE most distinguishing feature of Atlantis and one which even the Milos international Atlantis conference doubted might exist, was that the main island of Atlantis which Plato described first of all as the home of Poseidon and later as the site where the city of the descendants of Atlas reigned, was comprised of a central island surrounded by alternating rings of land and water.
The island comprised a central island 5 stades in diameter surrounded by three rings of water and two rings of land, "enclosing each other like cartwheels."

It took five expeditions on the Bolivian Altiplano following

[Morrison]

to find a location which matched Plato's mountain which was low on all sides and in the centre of the plain next to the sea. This site is presently called Pampa Aullagas  at the southern end of Lake Poopo.
