One of two salt lakes in the northern end of the Danakil Depression known as Lake Karum. A salt lake or saline lake is a landlocked body of water that has a concentration of salts (typically sodium chloride) and other dissolved minerals significantly higher than most lakes (often defined as at least three grams of salt per liter). [1]
Because of its high salt concentration, the lake water is unusually dense, and most people can float more easily than in other bodies of water, particularly in Gunnison Bay, the saltier north arm of the lake. [40] Water levels have been recorded since 1875, [2] averaging about 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level. Since the Great Salt Lake is a ...
This is a list of bodies of water by salinity that is limited to natural bodies of water that have a stable salinity above 0.05%, at or below which water is considered fresh. Water salinity often varies by location and season, particularly with hypersaline lakes in arid areas, so the salinity figures in the table below should be interpreted as ...

Pink lakes arise from a combination of factors, which include climate and hydrology of the continent beneath them, in particular the level of salinity.The orange/pink colour of salt lakes across the world has often been attributed to the green alga Dunaliella salina, but other work has shown that bacteria or archaea are also involved.
Salar de Uyuni (or "Salar de Tunupa") [1] is the world's largest salt flat, or playa, at 10,582 square kilometres (4,086 sq mi) in area. [2] [3] It is in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes at an elevation of 3,656 m (11,995 ft) above sea level.
Salt deposits along the eastern shore of the Salton Sea. The water of the Salton Sea has a salinity of 44 grams of salt per liter, greater than that of the Pacific Ocean (35 g/L). [81] The lack of an outflow means the Salton Sea does not have a natural stabilization system; it is very dynamic.
