Great Salt Lake,
Utah, to the right (east) are the
Wasatch Mountains, to the lower right is
Salt Lake City, Utah. This photo is taken from the
International Space Station from approximately 380
km. The railway clearly separates the north and south sections of the lake, which have different salt concentrations due to the barrier. The northern section ( Gunnison Bay) is at least two times more salty than the southern one, and shows a pink or mauve color. The water level of the lake is very low: note that the northeast arm of the lake has disappeared, and that Antelope Island is no longer an island at all.
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the
Soviet/
Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies. These are not necessarily in the public domain.
The
SOHO (ESA & NASA) joint project implies that all materials created by its probe are copyrighted and require permission for commercial non-educational use.
