To Jingle, if you are going to pull someone up about their use of written language, how about you learn how to use it yourself first… Its not “worst than high scool level…” it’s WORSE than high school level. Muppet.

How long before we screw this up with some poly-glot chemical waste dump?

They showed lakes like this on the series Blue Planet (I think it was called), where two fellows went to the bottom in a submersible. They actually tried to enter the brine, but the sub bounced off due to the extreme density of the salt solution. It’s probably on youtube, a great series, recommended for anyone into the merky deep.

OMG Mike and Jingle, you are so right!
That was bloody awful. Honestly, my writing usually isn’t that bad. It was a bit of a hectic day yesterday and the post was published before it had been edited!
Quick fix now done.

Hope it doesn’t put you off reading the rest of the site.

The next paradigm humanity has to get over is the idea that we are EARTHLINGS. Not just Americans, Russians, Mexicans, what have you. This is our only home, and it is both beautiful, mysterious, and the ONLY PLACE WE CAN LIVE. If we ever travel through the stars we cannot travel representing a planet that is at war with itself. We are EARTHLINGS. Let us celebrate that we are all here together.

And 1 vote from me that our Earth ships be painted blue and green.

He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition. (Quran, 25:53)

“think layer of salt up to 8km thick.”

“think” looks like you intended “thin”. Is “8km” correct? Or should it actually be “8m”?

“10 niches deep” – I do same thing all of time.

Thanks for the interesting article on this topic. I was instantly fascinated by these formations when I first saw one on a Discovery Channel program.

Dude, Linda, you have to work on your writing skills. Interesting article, but almost incomprehensible. This is like worst than high school level.
