The saltiest lake in the world is:

  • (A) Lake Assal
  • (B) Dead Sea
  • (C) Don Juan Pond
  • (D) Caspian Sea
  • Don Juan Pond in Antarctica is known for being the saltiest body of water in the world, with salinity levels frequently exceeding 40% and sometimes reaching mid-40s. This high level of salt, which is primarily calcium chloride, prevents the pond from freezing when air temperatures are as low as −50 °C (−58 °F).
  • Lake Assal, in Djibouti, is the saltiest lake in Africa and one of the saltiest in the world, with a salinity of about 34.8%—although Don Juan Pond is saltier than Lake Assal.
  • The Dead Sea, between Jordan and Israel, is famous for its salinity (about 34.2%) and being the deepest hypersaline lake in the world, although its salinity is lower than that of Lake Assal and Don Juan Pond.
  • The Caspian Sea is the largest inland water body, but its salinity is quite low, at only 1.2%, which is only one-third as salty as regular seawater.
