So, it's somewhat unusual to have a lake in the middle of a country that is a saltwater lake.
因此,在一个咸水湖的国家中部有一个湖有点不寻常。

It has that name because it is next to something called the Great Salt Lake, which is the largest saltwater lake in the Americas, in North and South America.
A salt lake or saline lake is a landlocked body of water that has a concentration of salts (typically sodium chloride) and other dissolved minerals significantly higher than most lakes (often defined as at least three grams of salt per litre). In some cases, salt lakes have a higher concentration of salt than sea water; such lakes can also be termed hypersaline lakes. An alkalic salt lake that has a high content of carbonate is sometimes termed a soda lake.
