Lake Bonneville itself was fresh water, only becoming salty as it evaporated and became landlocked. The Great Salt Lake is the modern remnant of Bonneville.

That's Church Rock between Moab and Monticello, Utah. Quite the geologic and human history behind that place.

Was just at that same spot back in March for a project I'm working on. Concerning the impact/salt dome debate; years ago, my wife found shatter cones and "odd" breccia in the area of upheaval dome, pointing towards an impact formation.

Great photo, Kevin!

2. The Core; enough said.
3. The Day After Tomorrow, although Dante's Peak is probably 1a in that department.
Great question, Wendy! 😉

Great video, Alex! For folks who have never seen/heard an erupting volcano, it's certainly an experience.
