@dailyoverview: The Great Salt Lake has shrunk by more than two-thirds in 40 years, from a surface area of 3,330 square miles (8,500 sq.km) in 1980 to a record-low 950 square miles (2,460 sq.km) in 2021. This trend threatens the residents of nearby Salt Lake City, Utah, and millions of other species that depend on the lake, such as migratory birds. As more of the lake bed — which contains high levels of arsenic — is exposed, the surrounding atmosphere may become poisoned by toxic dust. 41.166667°, -112.533333° Source imagery: Google Timelapse
