Utah Lake is located within Utah Valley, a valley in north-central Utah. Mountains surround Utah Valley on three sides: The Wasatch Range to the east, Traverse Mountains to the north and Lake Mountain to the west. Peaks of the Wasatch Mountains reach altitudes of 11,863-foot (3,616 m) Mount Nebo[6] and 11,745-foot (3,580 m) Mount Timpanogos,[7] nearly 7,250 feet (2,210 m) above the valley floor. Jutting into the south portion of the lake is 6,805-foot (2,074 m) West Mountain,[8] which divides Goshen Bay and Lincoln Beach. Utah Lake is situated on the western edge of the valley and covers more than 25% of Utah Valley's floor.[4] Because of its location on the western side of the valley, the eastern shore has a gentle slope, but the western shore rises abruptly against Lake Mountain. Connected to the main body of the lake are two large, shallow bays: the aforementioned Goshen Bay to the south and Provo Bay to the east. Major cities such as Provo and Orem are hemmed between the lake's eastern shore and the Wasatch Mountains.

Utah Lake is a remnant of a much larger pleistocene lake called Lake Bonneville, which existed from 75,000 to 8,000 years ago.[9] At its peak some 30,000 years ago, Lake Bonneville reached an elevation of 5,090 feet (1,550 m) above sea level and had a surface area of 19,800 square miles (51,000 km2), which was nearly as large as Lake Michigan. The weight of the lake depressed sections of the lake bottom by as much as 240 feet (73 m) before the surface rebounded when the lake dried up.[10] Approximately 12,000 years ago, the climate of the region changed to be warmer and drier. As evaporation rates exceeded inflow rates, the lake began to dry up, leaving Utah Lake, the Great Salt Lake, Sevier Lake and Rush Lake as remnants

Wikileaks files reveal secret US-Yemen bomb deal

The cables suggest Yemen's president insisted on taking responsibility for US air strikes

Bumpy ride ahead for US diplomats
US cables released by the Wikileaks website suggest that Yemen allowed secret US air strikes against suspected al-Qaeda militants.

President Ali Abdullah Saleh claimed raids were conducted by Yemen's military when they were in fact carried out by the US, according to the cables.

The files also reveal that Mr Saleh rejected an offer to deploy US ground forces in Yemen.

The US fears Yemen has become a haven for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The cables detail how Mr Saleh claimed responsibility for two US air strikes in December 2009, according to the Guardian .

A few days after the second attack on 24 December, Mr Saleh told the then head of US central command, General David Petraeus: "We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours."

On 21 December, US ambassador Stephen Seche reported in a dispatch that "Yemen insisted it must 'maintain the status quo' regarding the official denial of US involvement."

Mr Seche quotes Mr Saleh as saying that he wanted operations to continue "non-stop until we eradicate this disease".

The messages are among more than 250,000 US cables obtained by the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks.

The files are released in stages by Wikileaks, and details are also being published in the Guardian, the New York Times and other papers around the world that investigated the material.

'Bizarre'
According to the files released on Friday, Gen Petraeus had flown in to Yemen's capital Sanaa to tell Mr Saleh that the US would also allow its ground forces to be deployed in Yemen on counter-terrorism operations.

Mr Saleh rejected the offer, although he had told President Barack Obama's national security adviser, John Brennan, in September 2009 that he would give the US full access.

"I have given you an open door on terrorism," Mr Saleh is quoted in a US cable after the meeting with Mr Brennan.

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is suspected of having launched a number of attacks on targets in the West, including failed plots to bomb several cargo airliners in October.

The cables also reveal Mr Saleh to be an erratic partner in negotiations, the Guardian reports.

US security officials who met Yemen's long-standing leader in the course of 2009 described him as "petulant" and "bizarre".

After one meeting with Mr Brennan, the US ambassador reported that Mr Saleh had been "in vintage form". Mr Seche wrote that the President was "at times disdainful and dismissive", while he was "conciliatory and congenial" on other occasions.

Mr Saleh told Mr Brennan that should the US not help Yemen, "this country will become worse than Somalia".
