“Avery Island? Isn’t that where Tabasco sauce is made?”

That is correct. The central portion of Avery Island is actually a salt dome. Thus it is about 70 feet above sea level. The salt does not reach the surface but it is close.

Aren’t they afraid that if they mine out too much salt, the island will tip over?

A world without Tabasco sauce? Horrifying!
