- The Great Salt Lake in Utah is divided into two parts by a railroad causeway, and each part of the lake has its own unique salinity and Ecosystem.
There is actually Lake Snow that falls in the surrounding mountains. Many species depend on this salty body of water for sustenance.
Documentary: Secret Life of Lakes - The Great Salt Lake (2015)
Direction: Yanick Rose
Production: ZED (Valérie Abita), Productions Nova Média and ARTE France

When i was a kid i loved fiction , films ,novels etc., now i realize that reality is far more fascinating than fiction. Our world is pretty intriguing.
I landed in SLC at sunset one time, and it was GORGEOUS, the way the sun was reflecting off the Great Salt Lake!
The Weber River is pronounced like Wee-ber. I'm from California and I was corrected shortly after moving here as I pronounced Weber like the grill.
Well done! There is Webber, liked webbed feet, then Weber (wee-bur) is named after John Henry Weber. There were a lot of accents in the area between French and German trappers, Spanish Priests, and various Native Tribes. The pronunciation was debated, but the locals have spoken ;-).
There also a lot of Ute/Shoshone words for geographical features that get badgered as well.
Turned on this channel for the first time;I'm just getting acquainted,I like it.
hi, thanks for taking a chance on us!
camera crew.. especially the cameraman have a greatest job . nice docs an amazing world 😊
Thank you!! they do have an amazing job!
SLICE Earth, This is so fun! I'm happy I found your channel!
The 600 bison on Antelope Island are nowhere close to the largest herd in N. America. Yellowstone's herd of over 5,000 far exceeds that total, as do the other 3 wild and free roaming herds in the U.S.
I grew up less than 2 miles from the Great Salt Lake's shores and I never once heard it referred to as "America's dead sea" until just now. Also the Buffalo herd there is no where near the biggest.
FYI if you ever make it back out here again, the Weber in Weber River is pronounced with a long “e” in the first syllable, like “wee-burr”.
As a person who lives in Tooele Utah, and it’s beautiful, but yes it does stink, so I wouldn’t recommend swimmingin it. They also have DAS Energy at the Saltair Palace. It was also rumored to have had a whale or two, but that a tall tale for sure. The Bonneville Salt Flats were in a few movies too… like The Pirates of the Carribean, Con Air and Independence Day.
I've lived in SLC my whole life. Somehow this documentary felt like it was about some far off place. Crazy how much I didn't know. Great Job.
Thanks so much for watching!!
As a boy I came to Utah in 1961. The lake was very low then. Later, it swelled so much that huge pumps were installed to keep the lake from encroaching on roads and inhabited places. Then in the present decade, it shrank again. So I've experienced a complete cycle. I also learned to sail a keelboat on it!
44:42 sneaking suspicion that SLC isn’t the problem here… maybe the suburban sprawl that is destroying the entire valley with single family homes and big lawns is the issue?
The Yellowstone bison herd ranges from 3000 to 6000 bison
exactly!
Yeah that also caught me by surprise when they said that. Yellowstone definitely has the largest population by numbers….From what I just read on the internet the Antelope island herd is the third largest herd in the U.S, with Yellowstone coming in first and South Dakota’s second. But they could be talking about single herd sizes and not entire populations, but even then the numbers still don’t make much sense.
You are passing out bad information. There are two other remnants of Lake Bonneville that you totally missed. Lake Sevier and Utah lake. One of which isn't salty like the Great Salt Lake and the other is dusty because the water is taken from the lake before it gets there.
I find it inhumane the way they tagged the pelicans on their wings. They could get fishing string, rope etc.. wrapped around those tags and the pelicans will be trapped.
I thought the same thing. When they said they are wondering why 25% of those young die, I wondered how much they are contributing to that event.
The Legislature in Utah has not even set an elevation starting point reference for the Lake's health.
They have not given up on the Bear River Project which helps supply water to the Lake.
Utah is the 2nd driest State. Utah has the lowest municipal water rates in the Country. Over 70% of the water goes to one crop, alfalfa. This adds less than 1% to the State's GDP.
You should use the mile as unit of measure because Americans don't use kilometers!
Your improper usage shows as I also noted the misalignment of your mobile radio antenna. As an amateur radio operator, your antenna should be vertical for best transmission and reception on the 445 MHz frequency.
The Great Salt lake in Utah along with the Colorado River and San Juan river in Colorado could be recharged with flood water from the Mississippi River.
Only problem is the Rocky Mountain Range separating them from each other.
@@texasforever7887 Therefore with modern technology we can build tunnels through mountains, or pumping stations to get the water there.
@@DanielWatson-vv7cd I would be curious what the needed amount of power consumption would to pump that much water the roughly 3,000' in elevation needed to the reach the Great Salt lake.
@@texasforever7887 The technology exists, and people do it all the time.
Pumping water uphill is not difficult with today's tech. at all. (Pump stations), (Holding tanks), (check valves), (man-made lakes)
Definitely possible just unfeasibly expensive
They could still put in a quarter mile gap and bridge it.
Did they forget how to build a bridge to allow the water to flow between the causeway?
Antelope Island but it kinda looks like a seahorse 😁
Very few seahorses live on the island though
Anytime a supposed scientific documentary mentions climate change or global warming as an accepted fact, I realize the presentation is nothing but propaganda. So, thank you for that. It saved me some time.
Your loss, it was an interesting documentary. You remind me of my mom when she turns off a great movie because it said shit once. As if your over sensitive triggers should define the entire presentation.
Anytime someone ignores the overwhelming evidence of global warming I realize they never graduated kindergarten. So they thank you for that. Saved me some time assuming you could think critically.
Terrible engineering split the lake in two! They couldn't have built a bridge??
I was wondering why they haven’t fixed the thing 😢
Utah is very polluted due to diminished regulation.
The crusty white crud that forms along the shore of the lake contains ormus. A nano atomic element that doesn't fit the scientific criteria of an element, yet it isn't because it ? 😳 consists of nano atomic particles. 😮. DON'T SNORT IT. 😊 You may be sorry, but maybe not.😅

It’s salt… I live 25 mins the marina rusty white salt…. The great salt lake… when you swim you don’t sink.. you don’t do anything to float unlike a swimming pool
What an ugly body of water! Yikes "The Great Salty Cesspool"
Yet it is so increadibly vital and that makes it beautiful
get rid of the causeway.
