Great Salt Lake, Utah
The Great Salt Lake is an endangered body of water. It is evaporating
faster than it is replaced. What lies in front of you in this photo are
basically muddy flats that used to be inundated. The mountains here form
Antelope Island, the largest of 10 islands in the lake. There is a
causeway to the island that reappeared in 1992 after being submerged for many
years of higher lake water levels (which would indicated lower levels when they
built the causeway, so maybe the high/low levels are more cyclical).
