Great Salt Lake, Utah

Monday, 26 November 2007

According to Wikipedia, the Great Salt Lake is the largest salt lake in the Western Hemisphere, the fourth largest terminal lake in the world and the 33rd largest lake on earth.

According to the tour brochure, the Great Salt Lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River. It is currently 75 miles long by 28 miles wide covering 1,700 square miles. Size and depth vary greatly with seasonal evaporation and precipitation. Salinity is too high to support fish and most other aquatic species, however, brine shrimp, brine flies and several types of algae thrive in the lake.

Yes, it is a big lake. Couldn't see the shape of it. Looked like I am looking at a sea or ocean. Thought why I am taking pictures of nothing but water. I am glad I did because they turned out pleasing to my eyes! I love the blue water and the blue skies!
