【推荐1】The Dead Sea might be the most famous salty body in the world, but it’s by no means the only one. Here, we uncover some other salt lakes around the world.
Salt SeaThe most famous of the lot—the Salt Sea—is a natural place to start. It’s technically not a sea at all, but a land salt lake. Its waters are mainly drawn from the Jordan River, and the high salinity (盐度) means no life can survive here, so don’t expect any colorful fish. However, much amusement results from the sea’s buoyancy (浮力): bring some reading material to the waters and lie back. Nature will do the rest.
Lake AssalSurrounded by black volcano rocks, Lake Assal takes the title of being the lowest point in Africa. Vast salt fields mark its edges; the lake has long been at the center of the area’s salt trade, on which the region’s African locals still rely. Though the area might not be suitable to live in, the waters are rich in minerals and related to health benefits.
Don Juan PondDon Juan Pond might not win any prizes for its beauty—at four inches deep, it’s little more than a pond, but worth visiting. Its salinity content of almost 40 percent makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth, meaning it doesn’t freeze even when Antarctic temperatures drop to -50℃. And with suggestions that water in a similar form could exist on Mars, there’s more than one reason for scientists to study this fascinating dry, cold environment.
Great Salt LakeThe biggest salt lake in the western hemisphere (半球) and the one that gave Salt Lake City its name, the Great Salt Lake finds its home in northern Utah. What makes the lake well-known is not only the lake’s blue and green waters and white-sand beaches, but Great Salt Lake State Park and Antelope Island State Park both offer super hiking and biking trails, and great long views.

【推荐1】The Beauty of Bookshops
Here are some of the most interesting places around the UK that sell books.
Tales on Moon Lane
This shop won Children’s Bookseller of the Year at The British Book Awards in 2020 and 2021. Tamara Macfarlane, the founder, says “The true magic of a bookshop is that the brilliant people who work there hold all the golden tickets-and all you have to do to get one is just ask for some advice.”
How Brave Is the Wren
This is a bookshop that operates from a caravan (房车)and tours the country visiting schools, festivals and markets all year round. Jenny Moore, who created and runs the mobile bookshop, said that one of the best parts of her job is selecting books to put out on display.
Richard Booth Bookshop
The Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye is famous for bookshops. Richard Booth was the person responsible for turning the small market town into a literary destination. He opened his first bookshop in the town's old fire station in 1962 and it is still there today. What makes it distinct is that it has a cafe and a cinema.
Bags of Books
This store in Lewes, England, aims to inspire young people. Owner Rachel Givertz says her favourite part of the job is “when people come back to tell you they loved the book you recommended”. She says if you're feeling sad, fed up or angry, books can take you away from reality for a little while.
