1:05Now PlayingLake Bonneville was a freshwater sea—1,000 feet deep, covering much of Utah.
Today, it’s gone. Only the shallow Great Salt Lake remains.
15,000 years ago, you'd be underwater where you now walk through desert.
What happened?
The climate flipped. Hard.
Rainfall collapsed. Evaporation dominated.
And one of North America’s greatest lakes vanished.
The Earth we live on… is nothing if not dramatic.
