甘尼森岛屿,犹他,1975

中文注释：

一位独行侠正在刚尼逊岛上的山头小憩,该岛位于波光粼粼一望无际的大盐湖中心,这个湖是西半球最大的盐水湖.
　　
尽管湖水对于大部分物种来说有点太咸了,只有几种盐水虾和盐水蝇除外,但是水边的湿地却供养了成千上万的侯鸟.这个一英里长(1.6公里)的小岛,坐落于湖泊的西北侧,是数以万极的鹈鹕和海鸥的家园.

英文注释：

Gunnison Island, Utah, 1975

A lone man perches on an outcrop on Gunnison Island amid the shimmering expanse of Great Salt Lake, the largest salt lake in the western hemisphere.

Though the lake's waters are too salty for all but a few hearty species, including brine shrimp and brine flies, its wetlands support millions of migratory shorebirds and waterfowl. The mile-long (1.6-kilometer-long) island, situated on the northwest side of the lake, is home to tens of thousands of pelicans and seagulls.
