Anyone know how large it is? Deuar 21:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Based on this picture (from here) I'd estimate about 100 feet across. Note the person on the right side of the photo. 72.226.71.138 (talk) 21:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen figures of cirka 300 × 100 m (984 × 328 ft) with a depth of 10 cm (4 in) a couple of times (Yamagata et al. 1967). This puts the area at around 0.03 km², though the pond's size varies. --Anshelm '77 (talk) 01:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, the bibliographic record of Yamagata et al. 1967: Yamagata, N., T. Torii, S. Murata: Report of the Japanese summer parties in Dry Valleys, Victoria Land, 1963-65; V - Chemical composition of lake waters. Antarctic Record 29: 53-75. --Ratzer (talk) 07:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, comparing their antifreeze properties has been done extensively in the literature, and would be useful here. BatteryIncluded (talk) 14:46, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page lists Don Juan Pond as the second saltiest body of water on earth, but the article "List of bodies of water by salinity" ranks it sixth. Some clarifications somewhere would be nice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.120.121 (talk) 22:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
