SOUVENIR OF
THE GREAT SALT LAKE, UTAH
This Great Dead Sea, the largest in the
world, is located 15 miles west of Salt Lake
City. It covers an approximate area of 2,140
square miles, being 50 miles wide and 75
miles long with an average depth of 13 feet.
Like the Dead Sea in Palestine, it is fed by
the Jordan River, but has no known outlet
other than evaporation. The Salt Shrimp is
the only living insect known to exist therein.
The water is 27 per cent salt and thousands
of tons of salt are shipped annually from this
source.
The water of the lake is so heavy, one can-
not sink, affording the most delightful bathing
in the world, which is enjoyed by thousands
each season.
