About
Observation Post #4 A Gray Whale Nursery: Gray whales may be found here from late December to April or May. Fewer whales come here than to nearby Laguna Ojo de Liebre, and no official whale counts are taken. The bigger focus here is the world's largest salt production facility, located on this lagoon. Long stretches of dried salt look a lot like snow-covered ground! The saltworks offices are in the nearby town of Guerrero Negro. The lagoon is named after the whaling ship Guerrero Negro, which sank here in 1858. The name means "Black Warrior" in Spanish.
