Great Salt Lake from German Wikipedia
- Description:
- Great Salt Lake, Utah, to the right (east) are the Wasatch Mountains, to the lower right is Salt Lake City, Utah. This photo is taken from the International Space Station from approximately 380 km. The railway clearly separates the north and south sections of the lake, which have different salt concentrations due to the barrier. The northern section ( Gunnison Bay) is at least two times more salty than the southern one, and shows a pink or mauve color. The water level of the lake is very low: note that the northeast arm of the lake has disappeared, and that Antelope Island is no longer an island at all.
