Which is the saltiest natural lake on Earth?

The Don Juan Pond in Antarctica

Background

Many people think first of the Dead Sea, but that is not the saltiest place. Don Juan Pond in Antarctica is even saltier. Its water does not freeze even at minus 50 degrees Celsius because so much salt is dissolved in it. People could swim in it even with ice all around.
