Soda Lake along with Silver Lake are what remains of the large, perennial, Holocene Lake Mojave. The waters of the lake, now with no outlet, evaporate and leave alkaline evaporites of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
Soda Lake is located on the southern side of Interstate 15, and can be seen at the Zzyzx Road interchange and the Oat Ditch bridge, as well as the Soda Lake bridge (signed as the Mojave River) looking south from the city of Baker.

Il lago Soda è un lago asciutto al termine del fiume Mojave nel deserto del Mojave nella contea di San Bernardino in California. Il lago contiene acqua nei soli periodi di pioggia mentre l'acqua può essere trovata sotto la sua superficie. Assieme al lago Silver rappresenta ciò che resta del grande lago Mojave presente nell'Olocene. L'acqua del lago, senza sbocco, evapora lasciando evaporiti alcaline di carbonato di sodio e di bicarbonato di sodio. Il lago si trova nella parte sud della Interstate 15.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
