Lake Effect with Lila, a junior high student in Houston: "The strangest thing about floating in the Great Salt Lake, it feels almost like a secret, was that I almost felt dead, in a good way. The weightlessness, the white mist, the silence in the air and the silence in my head. And strangely it comforted me, made me less afraid of death."

  • Lake Effect is part of the Great Salt Lake Collaborative, a solutions journalism initiative that partners news, education and media organizations, including KRCL, to help inform people about the plight of the Great Salt Lake—and what can be done to make a difference before it is too late. Read all of our stories at greatsaltlakenews.org.
