5.) Lake Assal – Djibouti
Outside the frozen Antarctica, one of the saltiest lake is Lake Assal, a crater lake located in Djibouti. The lake lies 155 m below sea level making it the lowest point on land in Africa and the second lowest land depression on Earth next to the Dead Sea. It has 34.8% salt concentration which is 1.1% higher than the Dead Sea.
4.) Garabogazkol Aylagy – Turkmenistan
The Garabogazkol Aylagy is a very salty bay whose name means ‘mighty strait lagoon’ located in Turkmenistan. It has a salinity of about 35% while Caspian Sea has only 1.2%.
3.) Lake Vanda – Antarctica
Another very salty lake found in Antarctica is Lake Vanda. This 5 km long and 69 m deep lake is just 9 km away from Don Juan Pond. The deeper waters of the lake don’t mix with the shallower waters and no fish species live on this peculiar lake.
2.) Don Juan Pond – Antarctica
Lakes found in Antarctica are said to be the saltiest in the world and Don Juan Pond is one of these lakes. It is a small and very shallow hypersaline lake located in Victoria Land. This lake is regarded as the “saltiest body of water on earth” with a salinity level of over 40%. It’s 18 times the ocean’s salinity and has greater salinity than the Dead Sea and Lake Assal. In fact, the lake has no ice cover and doesn’t freeze even in winter indicating a high degree of salinity. It is also called Lake Don Juan.
1.) Bungie.net Destiny Forums - Internet
There are a lot of websites around the internet with high levels of salinity, although not directly related to bodies of water in any way. Originally the Destiny forums was a moderately salty area, with a salt concentration of around 20%. In mid-August 2015, on Friday the 14th at 2 AM PST, the salt concentration of the Destiny forums started rising dramatically to around 35%. The users of the website blamed the shocking sale of Gjallarhorn from Xûr for the exponential increase of saltiness. Only 1 hour later after the Agent's arrival to the Tower , the salt concentration levels of the Destiny Forums had surged to around 70% as the news spread like a wildfire in the community. [b]This is an increase of roughly 100%, making it the saltiest place on Earth currently.[/b] If the Destiny Forums was an ocean, even an Elephant wouldn't be able to touch the bottom of it due to the high levels of saltiness.
