File:Salt collector in Lake Retba.jpg
Summary
This man spends 6-7 hours a day in water with a salt content close to 40%. In order to protect his skin he rubs himself with "Beurre de Karité" (shea butter, produced from shea nuts obtained from the Shea nut tree), which is an emollient to avoid the skin to burn.
The picture is taken in Lac Rose, a pink lake very close to the Atlantic Ocean in Senegal not far away from Dakar. Six days a week he manages to harvest about a ton of salt per day, which is loaded in a small wooden boat.
When the boat is fully loaded with salt he returns to the shore and the boat is discharged by his wife and other family members. The salt is sold locally and for exports to other West African countries.
