The Great Salt Lake is a remnant of the ancient Lake Bonneville, which existed during the last ice age when the climate was wetter. As the climate became drier, Lake Bonneville shrank, leaving behind the Great Salt Lake and contributing to the desertification of surrounding regions. The lake’s high salinity and unique ecosystem are influenced by the arid conditions typical of North American deserts, where evaporation rates exceed precipitation, leading to the formation of saline bodies of water. Thus, the Great Salt Lake serves as a vital ecological feature within the desert landscape of the Great Basin.
