You should go out to Antelope Island, it feels like a different world!
There's actually brine shrimp that live at the mouth of the river
So beautiful
beautiful place
Just hold ur nose.
We need links to the whole video, Please!
Yeah why can’t we watch the whole video!!!!
Great video, thank you for sharing.
What's the precise difference between a salt lake and an inland sea?
Fun fact: The Great Salt Lake is connected with Utah sewer
I got lol'd hard when heard " too salty " , much memes
Dried up salty mud hole now in 2021
The Great Salt Lake. They all float here! You’ll float too!
The next It book and movie should take place in the "great" salt lake, someone tweet Stephen King
My Grandma Edith and Grandpa George lived in the last house on the road to Antelope Island. I played on the Salt Flats and my uncle would occasionally shoot a goose they would have for dinner. Not me! I do not eat meat. I Love Animals and birds. I do eat their products..however..milk and eggs. 😊❤
Look at it now. SLC might be uninhabitable in the coming years
It was so great until it ended.

How do I watch the rest? What's it called?

"Here's this awesome lake and... *queue ominous music* here's how we are all fucking it up."
Max Depth is only 33 feet.
It used to be larger than Lake Michigan and over one thousand feet deep. The great salt lake is just a puddle of what it once was.
A sea.
i can pretty basically float in ocean water heck i can almost float in fresh water holding my breath. so i cant imagine how easy id float in that.
Brime shrimp are the only creature living in the great salt lake
Salt Lake is healing itself soon the Wasaches will melt and Salt Lake will fill up again. Union Pacific has fixed a 50 year old mistake now water is flowing again in the Salt Lake.
Oof this didn't age well
😂😂😂
Ahhh Utah, and it’s Bipolar weather Places like filmore can get to -30 in winter and places like Caesar city get to about 50 degrees
No more. The water is gone. The wildlife gone.
"Water"?
Band of horses brought me here
Who cares what brought you here?
In a portion of this video I kind of see a big fish (maybe small bull shark) swimming in the water. It moves just like a shark. Can anyone else see it? Pay close attention...
The part of the video at 1 minute 7 seconds. Watch the water in a big screen and you’ll see something swimming in the water...
Nothing can live in the great salt lake
The biggest lithium deposits in the world
It’s epic
A few years ago, I went to Salt Lake City. They are so embarrassed of their lake that they deny knowledge of it. I couldn't even find a reference to it on the tourist maps. We drove around and around in circles until we stopped at a hotel sitting in front of a filthy stinky beach, with tons of flies and hopping bugs and dead birds everywhere. RIP lake.
Great Salt Lake is a Great place to dump a body
No one is embarrassed about the lake. There are small tourist attractions, hiking, and camping available on Antelope Island in the lake. Even some boating. Some people swim in it. It is true that because of evaporation, mineral deposits, bacteria, and brine shrimp the lake can be stinky. But "embarrassment" doesn't apply. It's possible that because Salt Lake City is a "city" that people in the city didn't worry about a lake that was 45 minutes away by interstate and side roads. Hence the supposed "embarrassment" you encountered. I know because I spent 15 years in Salt Lake City.
Kristan Wifler I wish you could have gone to antelope island
If you go to Utah, your time would be better spent visiting the National Parks, especially Zion
@@eeeeggnog._. Or Promontory Summit. A place of History.
It's salty so we can't drink it :(
Did you have help with that idea?
Watch out fur de ice
Nothing floats just like things float in the DEAD SEA of Jerusalem. Nothing. Nowhere on earth is JUST LIKE the DEAD SEA. There is only ONE.
No one since the 50s has taken a float in the lake. No one in their right mind would try it today- it has been the untreated sewage "solution" for SLC for years. They figured it's a dead sea anyway, so...
Dizzy Derwish haha there were quite a few people in the water in 2012 when I visited. I could float easy. But I wouldn’t go in it again because it’s a pretty nasty low quality puddle. Minnesotans like myself would never call the great salt lake a “lake”
wtbman You have never been out to the GSL. I have. If you go out west from Thatcher- out past the former Thiokol, you get to a single road that follows the western edge of an arm of the lake. No, I’m not talking about Antelope Island. You continue more than an hour south. You look across the lake and see the striped rock face to the east of Ogden. You finally reach a pipeline and old, broken moorings of a causeway. The place is choking in toilet paper and stinking sludge. The place is remote and desolate so you won’t need your swimsuit. Find out if you can float nude in excrement!
I used to respect, donate to, and subscribe to Smithsonian. Now their just political hacks virtue signaling and trying to be the "good guys" on every issue. Pffffff.
So you should prove them wrong, and buy a house on the lake. Send us a postcard.
Worst smelling body of water on earth
Can't be a nature oriented video without some kind of dig on how horrible humans are for the environment.
It’s the truth though.
I’m so tired of all the environmental issues within nature films!!!!
So we better stop fucking up our planet?
I used to live in Utah its real.
So tired of the whole 5 seconds of recognition they gave it?
So tired of ignorant slags like Karen.
How else can we brainwash you?
I love the ominous music at the end. Nice touch propagandists.
