PHOTOS: Touring Great Salt Lake's unique graveyard of junk near Stansbury Island

STANSBURY ISLAND, Utah (KUTV) — Abandoned buses. Rusty old pieces of heavy equipment. Giant metal pipes and more. Those are just some of the massive pieces of junk that lay on a dry Great Salt Lake bed next to Stansbury Island.

Photographer Robin Pendergrast took a photographic tour of what he says is a self-described junk "graveyard."

Pendergrast described what he saw just to the west of Stansbury Island, saying:

Saturday, windy, but a perfect day to visit a gem in the Utah world. [It was] quiet, clean, [there were] a few cattle and babies hanging around and the usual folks taking target practice. Wait a minute. Hidden away to the west on dry Great Salt Lake waterbeds is a massive inventory of 'stuff"... huge stuff. It appears that the Stansbury Island 'graveyard' has been created with active deposits and 'stuff.' No signs, no sheds, no people ( just us ) and a bizarre collection including two compressed buses. No fencing but just a big splash of land self designated as the 'graveyard." and off to the center, [there were] two HUGE cylinders with fins just waiting."
