Mono Lake, California
Motion · Season 1 · Episode 11
Mono Lake in California is one million years old. It was once the biggest pond in North America. It is about 60 times smaller today but it is still a great place to explore. Underwater springs bubbled up from the lake-bed seeping minerals into the super-salty waters of Mono Lake slowly creating limestone towers. South Tufa is a photographer's dream, so don't forget the camera and try to aim for an early or late visit as the light will be best for pictures and the crowds will be gone.
