Fremont Island, at , is a privately owned island located within the Great Salt Lake in the U.S. state of Utah. It is the third largest island after Stansbury Island and Antelope Island respectively. ==Human history== Fremont Island is named for John C. Frémont. At least one permanent family has lived on Fremont Island. Kate and Uriah Wenner and their children lived on the island for several years prior to the death of Uriah in 1891. In 2003 the island was leased by the Barrow Land and Livestock company. Exotic species of animals were brought to the island with the intent to provide unique hunting opportunities. In October 2013 a feral pig was spotted near the Antelope Island causeway. This prompted the state authorities to investigate and find populations of illegal species. The state and owners then proceeded to hunt the remaining animals by air to prevent the potential spread to the mainland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fremont Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
