Situated within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Shark Bay on Denham Sound is Useless Loop, a salt mining operation and shown in this photo taken from an open door light fixed wing plane are the salt crystallisation ponds caught in late afternoon light. Useless Loop got its name from the French explorer Henri-Louis de Saulces de Freycinet who thought the harbour was blocked by a sandbar and was therefore "useless" - Havre Inutile.
