Great Salt Lake
Lake in which it is not possible to drown
The Salt Lake was first discovered by the Mormons, and its size was so great that they thought they had reached the sea and settled there. The lake is constantly drying up. Its concentration of salt exceeds 20% speak of up to 28% concentrate in some places. In most places you can not bathe, but there are areas where it is possible. As it dries up, it has to go on the sharp sand full of salt. The concentrate is so strong that it is impossible to drown. I do not recommend diving. continue reading
