Image Caption:
Great Salt Lake, October 1989

The Great Salt Lake and the Great Salt Lake Desert are shown in
this spectacular northeast-looking, oblique view from STS-34.
Great Salt Lake grew in size in the mid- 1980's due to heavy
winter snow packs. When the rising lake levels threatened
developed lands, water was diverted to form a new lake, visible
to the left (1). Compare this with the STS 51B photograph of
April 1985. Also visible in this view are Utah (2) and Bear (3)
Lakes; the Grand Tetons (4) and Wind River (5) Ranges, and Yel-
lowstone National Park (6). (S34-72-049)
