Their death is a harbinger of rising sea levels, life-threatening dust storms, and environmental collapse. Writer and geographer Caroline Tracey didn't know this when she began crossing paths with salt lakes during her early twenties. From the Great Salt Lake to the Aral Sea, across the American West and around the world, the unusual beauty of these shimmering, uncanny bodies of water captured her imagination.

Listen to the podcast as we will answer the question about how long it rained and why there was enough water to cover even the highest mountains. Understanding the Biblical description of the flood is critical to understanding why the hydrogeologic observations we make today fit the Biblical description but not the claims of slow processes over long time-periods by secular scientist. The flood was unlike any storm we observe today. It was God’s judgement on all life for their disobedience. In fact, when you see canyons and...
