WHAT DOES HYPERSALINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hypersaline

Hypersaline lake

A hypersaline lake is a landlocked body of water that contains significant concentrations of sodium chloride or other salts, with saline levels surpassing that of ocean water. Specific microbial and crustacean species thrive in these high salinity environments that are otherwise inhospitable to most lifeforms. Some of these species attain dormancy when they are desiccated, and organisms of certain species have been shown to survive for over 250 million years. The most saline water body in the world is the Don Juan Pond, located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica. It is limited in its size - about 3,000 cubic meters and its volume is changing. The Don Juan Pond has a salinity level of over 44%,. Its high salinity prevents the Don Juan from freezing even when temperatures are below −50 °C. There are larger hypersaline water bodies - lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys like Lake Vanda with salinity level of over 35%. They are covered with ice in the winter. The most saline lake outside of Antarctica is Lake Assal, in Djibouti, which has a salinity level of 34.8%.
