The Great Salt Lake in Utah is divided in half by a railroad causeway. This causeway prevents freshwater from reaching the north arm of the lake so the northern part of the lake is saltier than the southern part. The extra salinity of the northern arm allows the growth of bacteria that turn the water purple. photo
