To travelers so long shut among the mountain ranges a sudden view over the expanse of silent waters had in it something sublime. Several large islands raised their rocky heads out of the waves. . . . Then, a storm burst down with sudden fury upon the lake, and entirely hid the islands from our view. John C. Fremont, Report of the Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, 1845 |

Scientific Review Committee
We suggest that Great Salt Lake is a phenomenal
asset to the state of Utah. Its mineral resources have been appreciated for almost 150
years. Brine shrimp are now appreciated because they are economically valuable. To only
a very limited extent is the lake appreciated for tourism, for culture, for earth systems
history and for education.
