Geology

These photography collections highlight the unique geology of Great Salt Lake, capturing its dynamic geological history through striking formations, from the ancient metamorphic and sedimentary rocks of the surrounding Wasatch Range to the limestone and dolomite layers along the shores that record fluctuations of ancient Lake Bonneville. The lake's high evaporation rates have created extensive salt flats and unique mirabilite mounds, showcasing the distinctive textures and interplay between water and the land.
