The Mono Lake is located in the eastern California with many characteristics such as its high salinity rate. As there is no outlet, while the water in lake evaporates, the salt mine is left in the lake. The salinity is over twice as high as seawater. However, there are many kinds of marine animals and algae living in the lake. There are a large quantity of algae and more than sixty billion kinds of shrimps, which are the main food of migrating birds. Hagdons nest and incubate there.

In 1996 it was listed as the World Heritage of the United Nations.

4. Dead Sea in Jordan

Like Lake Mono and other salt lake, Dead Sea is actually a kind of salt sea. The only main entry of it is Jordan river. Salinities here are high due to a minuscule amount of rainfall and high evaporation rates. In addition, dead sea does not have an output. The lake lies 400 meters above sea-level, the lowest on the land of the earth. Along the coast of dead sea exits the lowest arid land in the word. If you step on the dead, you will find its deepest point is about 1240 feet under the surface of the earth.

Located within the confines of Soviet Union, Aral Sea is a beautiful lake rather than a sea. It once was the largest lake in the world. As a inland lake, the salinity of Aral Sea is much higher than that of freshwater lake because the amount of runoff is less than the amount of evaporation. But fish can still survive in the lake. Once the largest lagoon in Asia and the fourth in the world, Aral Sea has an area of nearly 70000 square kilometers.
