The Mono County in California, located just a few kilometers northeast of Yosemite National Park, there is a fascinating old lake, which is dating back as 760,000 years ago. The lake is popular for its unique icons and the incredible beauty of the landscape.
The Mono Lake has no outlet to the ocean, and has become very salty and alkaline with high enough levels of pH. The most remarkable feature of Lake Mono is a strange tufa formation that makes it similar to the moon.
Volcanic ash in Mono Lake is formations of limestone that were once underwater but slowly they were exposed due to the fact that the water has evaporated through years.
It is a habitat of rare bird but the fish cannot survive because of the high salt concentration and high alkalinity of the water.
