Comparison of Great Salt Lake and Dead Sea Properties
The Great Salt Lake is shallow with depths around three feet in places and highly buoyant due to about 22 percent salt content, making swimming difficult. The Dead Sea is deeply buoyant as well, with water near black from sulphur and bitumen, and depths from thirteen feet to over 1,300 feet in the north, allowing prone or seated floating for hours.
