Canāt help but want to know the story of this gorge and how it ended up with the name Don Juan Pond.
This pond occasionally moves to 2nd place though, replaced by Lake Michigan when it fills with salty tears after Packers losses

TIL there are mountains in Antarctica. I don’t know why I thought it was one massive, flat block of iceĀ
Antarctica really said, āLetās make the Dead Sea look hydrophobic.ā
it looks tiny afā¦how big is it?
edit: 980 feet long, 330 feet wide. average depth 30 inches, max depth 7 feet.
is it in an area that doesnāt get a lot of snow? otherwise i picture it being buried all the time
The second. The saltiest body of water is me after I lose at Mario Kart.
Whats the highest salt content water can have?
Imagine if you could somehow adapt your body to drink super salty water and be comfortable in negative temperatures. Looks like a nice peaceful place to relax on a rock in the sun lol.
My Ex in a bathtub beats this. She is one salty bitch!!
Saltiest body of water apart from OP.
Gonna make my own pond and add 45% of salt.
I thought the saltiest body of water was that lake inside and at the bottom of the ocean that was so salty it was its own thing.
I didnāt know my ex was a tiny shallow pond in Antarctica that never freezes.
it’s the second highest salinity.
This is the saltiest:

-77.564408, 161.173689
Someone needs to set up a margarita stand
Just for reference sea water is 3.5% salt
I like the alliteration in the name
Psh, it hasn’t met my youngest sister.
I’m taking Microbiology right now, and my first thought was I wonder what microbes we could find in there. I’d love to observe a halophile. I think my professor would be proud.
Pretty dangerous to stick your hand in to test the temperature. It would be like flash-freezing with liquid nitrogen
Damn. 18 times saltier than the ocean.
Pfff the average league of legends player is much saltier
“The saltiest known natural body of water”.
Guess OP never heard of League of Legends.
A pond full of LoL players

Clearly this pond has never met the average sports fan after their team loses.
Salt made a joke and it was sodium funny !
