 | | Now the Jetty is in crystalline metamorphosis, thoroughly coated with sparkling white salt, floating in a strange wine-red, mostly dead sea, like a reborn outpost "on the edge of Atlantis," a Smithsonian phrase. |
 | | "Spiral Jetty," the film (an essay also shares the title), begins with images of maps: pieces of an atlas swirling in the wind; a geologic representation of the continental drift theory; a description of Lake Bonneville, the ancient inland sea of which the Great Salt Lake is a remnant. |
