Name(s) in local language(s):
La Toma de Vipos, Vipos, Departamento Trancas, Provincia de Tucumán, Argentina.
Elevation: 896 m above sea level.
Abundant thenardite outcrops on the ground completely covering an area of 50 x 100 meters, next to the neighbourhood dirt road between the Vipos water outlet and the river of the same name.
The presence of thenardite as efflorescence covering the clay soil is due to the dehydration of mirabilite in contact with dry air, especially in the winter.
