Description:
The Great Salt Lake is really shallow, averaging only 14’ deep. Its maximum depth is 35’ and its level fluctuates greatly. Its size varies between 950 and 3,300 square miles, with an average of 1,400 square miles. That makes it the fourth largest terminal lake in the world (a lake with no outlet). This year it’s easy to find salty flats around the edges.
The salt is from minerals washed into the terminal lake. It is primarily sodium chloride, with small amounts of magnesium, potassium, sulfate, and carbonate.
