Photographs of the Tufa towers at Mono Lake, California.

Mono lake is very salty, very alkaline, and it tastes really bad. The white milky stuff in the water is, I think, carbonate.

Not much can live in Mono lake, except for tiny brine shrimp and little black flies. The water is thick with shrimp, while the water's edge is often black, coated with millions of flies.
