According to its Wikipedia page:

"Don Juan Pond, also called Lake Don Juan, is a small and very shallow hypersaline lake in the west end of Wright Valley (South Fork), Victoria Land, Antarctica, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) west from Lake Vanda. With a salinity level of over 40%, Don Juan Pond is the saltiest known body of water on Earth."

It has decreased in size over the years, and in fact:

" . . . in December 1998 the pond was almost dry everywhere except for an area of a few tens of square meters."

Further:

". . . It has been described as a groundwater discharge zone."
