Shrinking Salt Lake
In this July 17, 2007 file photo, a plastic bucket lies half buried in the dried out bed of the Great Salt Lake, northwest of Salt Lake City. All summer and into the fall of 2008, warm temperatures kept evaporation humming, drawing down the lake to near-record low levels and exposing more shore than normal. But the shrinking appears finally to have stopped. (AP Photo/Douglas C. Pizac, File)
