..freezes too, the salt just drops the freezing a coupla degree (or
Kelvin ;o) ), depending on salinity. Most lakes above sea level stay
fresh because the salt is run off to sea or a lower lake, like the Dead
Sea in between Palestine and Jordan. The higher-than-sea-level
salty lakes are usually quite far from the seas.
