Australian Antarctic Division Antarctic expeditioners have witnessed a rare event - ice forming on a super-salty lake near Davis research station. Picturesque Deep Lake, in the Vestfold Hills, is a land-locked 'hypersaline' lake that contains about 270 grams of salt per litre (about 45 teaspoons). Seawater, by comparison, contains about 35 grams of salt per litre. Ice can be seen forming on the far edge of Deep Lake - a rare occurrence for this hypersaline lake.
